Contrary to earlier statements by Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, the SWAT team was in a different building than the one used by the shooter, Thomas Crooks. This discrepancy raises further questions about the adequacy of security measures at Trump's rally, where one person was killed and two others were injured.

The president of Accuracy in Media, a right-wing group that used "doxxing trucks" to expose pro-Palestine activists at Ivy League schools, had his home searched by a SWAT team after a false call claimed he was armed and threatening his wife.
