New video shows Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks dead on roof, moments after assassination, confirms Secret Service warning

Shocking new footage shows local police officers and a Secret Service agent standing over the body of potential Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, apparently confirming that the 20-year-old sniper was identified as a suspect before he opened fire.

Bodycam video released by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley shows Crooks’ lifeless body and a pool of blood on the roof where he injured Trump and killed a heroic firefighter earlier this month.
