Facts about Trump assassination attempt: What’s real, what’s not and how we know
Jim Jordan: ‘There’s one fundamental question’
During a podcast interview at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Jordan questioned why nearby buildings at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, were not secured.
“In my mind, there’s one fundamental question. There’s a finite number of buildings in that area where a bad guy could get on top of and do what happened. It’s probably not one hundred buildings, it’s probably not 10, it may be three, four, five. And one of those buildings was occupied by the good guys, right?” Jordan said.
Jordan said he would like to hear from the local police officer who reportedly climbed up to the roof of the building with the sniper just before the deadly shooting and the Secret Service counter-sniper.
Mike Turner: ‘You don’t have to be a security expert to see the failures’
Turner, who also is chair of the House Intelligence Committee, praised the Secret Service agents on the stage with Trump and told CNN there are going to be lots of questions about the shooter and his motivations.
“You don’t have to be a security expert to see the failures here,” Turner said. “The fact that the perimeter was not secure really is just astounding I think to anyone who looks at it. The fact that he was able to get off shots where he had already been identified, his position had been identified is really confusing and astounding.”
How to watch hearing on Trump assassination attempt
The hearing will be live-streamed at oversight.house.gov. at 10 a.m. on Monday, July 22.

CANFIELD, Ohio (WJW) – Nobody took home the massive Powerball jackpot on Wednesday, but one Canfield man is still celebrating after purchasing a winning ticket worth $50,000.
According to Ohio Lottery, Bryan decided to try his luck after realizing the Powerball jackpot was over $1 billion. He bought a ticket from the Meijer grocery store on Boardman-Canfield Road in Boardman.
The next morning, Bryan woke up and checked the ticket, stunned to discover that he won $50,000.
After mandatory state and federal taxes, the lucky winner will take home more than $36,000.
Bryan told lottery officials that he doesn’t have specific plans for money yet, but the big win will certainly make for “a very good Christmas.”
It has been months since someone won the Powerball jackpot, which now sits at a massive $1.5 billion. There is also a cash option worth $689.3 million up for grabs.
The next drawing will be Saturday night at 11 p.m. Learn more about the Powerball right here.
A mom searching for answers about her son’s death in a car wreck won a victory on Dec. 19 when the Ohio Supreme Court ordered the Richland County Sheriff to release records to her.
The court ruled in a unanimous decision that Andrea Mauk is entitled to three sets of records withheld by the sheriff, with only Social Security numbers being redacted. Mauk will be awarded $2,000 in damages but will not receive attorney fees.
On June 23, 2023, 18-year-old Damon Mauk lost control of his 1998 Ford Mustang and slammed it into a tree. His mother wanted to piece together what happened, collect his belongings and grieve the loss of her child. She didn’t think she’d have to fight for public records and take her case to the Ohio Supreme Court.
Following the crash, Richland County Sheriff’s deputies, a township fire department and the Ohio State Highway Patrol responded.
During the investigation, a trooper told a deputy to leave Damon’s iPhone and wallet in the car, according to Mauk’s court filings. Instead, the deputy took the belongings to the hospital and handed them off to someone who said he was Damon’s dad.
Mauk didn’t understand. Damon’s father was largely absent from his life. How could he have been there to pick up the wallet and phone?
A few weeks after the fatal crash, Mauk asked for records, including: the sheriff’s report and inventory of items taken from the car, body camera footage from deputies who gave away the belongings, the report, photos and videos created by the patrol and more.
Mauk, of the Mansfield area, received some but not all of the requested records. Mauk hired attorney Brian Bardwell to pursue records she believes exist but weren’t provided or were improperly redacted.
The sheriff’s office claimed that some of the requested records were exempt from disclosure because they are confidential law enforcement records or personal notes. The court privately reviewed the records withheld from Mauk and determined that they should be released.
The decision in favor of releasing records runs contrary to recent rulings from the high court.
In 2024, the court held that the cost of sending troopers to protect Gov. Mike DeWine at a Super Bowl game weren’t subject to disclosure and that the Ohio Department of Health should redact from a database the names and addresses of Ohioans who had died, even though that death certificate information can be released on an individual case basis.
In 2025 the court ruled that police officers’ names may be kept confidential if they’re attacked on the job, giving them privacy rights afforded to crime victims.
