Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, called on local Pennsylvania law enforcement authorities on Thursday to provide security details, along with audio and video recordings, connected to the attempted assassination of former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania last Saturday.

Grassley sent letters to Butler and Beaver counties, as well as the Pennsylvania State Police, seeking information as he investigates what he calls a “catastrophic security failure” that took place during the July 13 rally.

The senator requested law enforcement officials provide all video and audio recordings in their possession made before, during and after the rally, and other things like documents spelling out the security assignments, delegations of authority, cooperative agreements between the various agencies, and security planning for the Trump rally.
