Overview

• The Pennsylvania State Police commissioner told the House Homeland Security Committee that officers left assigned positions to search for a suspected gunman prior to shots being fired at a Trump campaign rally.
• The testimony provides an official account that adds detail to prior questions about how the rally’s security was organized and executed.
• A reported witness account said they saw President Donald Trump get hit during the incident, a claim that remains reported rather than independently verified.
• Following the attempt, Trump returned to in-person events, including his first outdoor rally after the incident, held in North Carolina.
• Trump said he agreed to participate in an ABC News presidential debate in Philadelphia scheduled for Sept. 10, and he has also claimed a recent '60 Minutes' interview with Vice President Kamala Harris was heavily edited.
