15 July 2024 Punjab Khabarnama : The assassination attempt at Donald Trump on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, has triggered numerous conspiracy theories and speculations, ranging from The Boys creators orchestrating the shooting to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un planning the assassination.
One widely circulated post on X (formerly Twitter) claims to be written by a Secret Service agent named Jonathan Willis. This post, likely a fabrication, is one of many wild rumours about the incident. The message was initially posted on 4chan, an anonymous bulletin board platform where anyone can post anything.
The post, allegedly written by Willis, alleges that he was one of the officers present at the rally during the shooting. Although Willis had the shooter within range “for at least 3 minutes”, there were no instructions from the top brass of the Secret Service to neutralize him.
FBI identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, and the investigation is ongoing.
The post lead was “THEY WOULDN’T LET ME TAKE OUT THE SHOOTER.”
“My name is Jonathan Willis. I’m the officer in the famous photo of the two snipers on the roof at Trump’s rally. I came here to inform the public that I had the assassin in my sights for at least 3 minutes, but the head of the secret service refused to give the order to take out the perp. 100% the top brass prevented me from killing the assassin before he took the shots at president Trump,” he allegedly wrote on 4chan.
