Donald Trump revealed Saturday that he was not warned about the gunman who shot him at a Pennsylvania rally last weekend despite agents eyeing the suspect for hours before the attack.
“Nobody mentioned it,” Trump told Jesse Watters in an upcoming episode of the Fox News anchor’s primetime show.
“Nobody said it was a problem.”
“[They] could’ve said, ‘Let’s wait for 15, 20 minutes, 5 minutes.’ Nobody said…I think that was a mistake,” he added.
Gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks first raised suspicions when he passed through the security screening area with a rangefinder, a device similar to binoculars used by hunters and target shooters to measure distances for long-range shots.
That was three hours before he squeezed off up to seven shots at Trump, grazing the candidate in the ear and killing one audience member.
