Recent updates on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump reveal significant details about the events leading up to the incident. Investigators are probing whether the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, used a drone to surveil the rally site in Butler, Pennsylvania, hours before the attack. Despite being spotted by police twice within 30 minutes before the shooting, Crooks managed to position himself on a rooftop from where he fired at Trump, wounding him in the right ear.

Additionally, it has been confirmed that the Secret Service did not warn Trump about the gunman, even though they were monitoring Crooks for an hour before the shooting. In the aftermath, Trump has used the incident to rally support, describing himself as having "taken a bullet for democracy" at his first rally since the attack.
