The U.S. Attorney in the Western District of Pennsylvania has empaneled a grand jury to investigate the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13, which killed retired firefighter Corey Comperatore and wounded three others, including Trump. According to a report from Human Events, a records request from America First Legal was denied because the records in question are “within the scope of a grand jury subpoena.”
The letter, which was penned by the Community College of Allegheny County in response to attorney Wally Zimolong, denied a request for deceased gunman Thomas Matthew-Crooks’ records pertaining to his student files, records, documents, communication, disciplinary records, or other data containing his name.
“Please be advised that your request is denied on the basis that it requests records that relate to an ongoing criminal investigation, which are exempt from disclosure,” the letter reads.
