Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., described the level to which the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service have prevented the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) from obtaining crucial materials to investigate the failures that led to the assassination attempts against former President Trump.
"Things like the autopsy report, you know, the House has it under subpoena. We don't have it," he told reporters.
"[The] toxicology report; we don't have any of the trajectory reports. So, where'd the bullets go? We don't even know how they handled the crime scene," said Johnson, ranking member of the HSGAC Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI).
The senator pointed to the amount of time that has passed since the July 13 assassination attempt against Trump, noting, "There's just basic information we should have right now, and we don't have it."
"We haven't been able to interview the sniper who took out [Thomas] Crooks," Johnson said. Crooks is the would-be assassin that, during the July 13 rally in Pennsylvania, opened fire, grazing the former president's ear, killing a rally attendee and critically injuring two others.
According to the Republican, the sniper who shot Crooks was the first person he wanted to interview.
