Overview
- Greene on Friday shared and endorsed a lengthy post by activist Trisha Hope that questions the official account of the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting and urges President Trump to lead the push for answers.
- Hope’s post challenges Trump’s one-time recounting of the event at the Republican National Convention, casts the famous raised‑fist photo as a staged moment, and criticizes a later Secret Service promotion as evidence of deeper failures.
- Authorities have said the 2024 rally attack wounded Trump, killed attendee Corey Comperatore as he shielded his family, and ended with 20‑year‑old Thomas Crooks identified as the lone shooter who was killed by law enforcement.
- Mediaite reports that other prominent voices have demanded more details, while Republican Reps. Mike Kelly and Pat Fallon accused the FBI of stonewalling a House inquiry and a former Secret Service agent and Comperatore’s widow said key facts remain undisclosed.
- The Secret Service’s posture remains under scrutiny, a focus that intensified after Director Kimberly Cheatle stepped down in 2024 following questions about security lapses at the rally.
