While discussing the shocking report, CNN's Senior Justice Correspondent Evan Perez clarified there was no current evidence that indicated the Saturday, July 13, attempt on Trump's life by late 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was related to the alleged "Iranian plot."

Evans continued: “It appears to be a coincidence, obviously, but it is one of those things that is raising new questions, I think, for the Secret Service and for everybody involved in the protection of Donald Trump, how it was that these events, took place as they did on Saturday."

But how did that person get on a roof and be able to fire off these shots, that almost killed, Donald Trump? Those are very, very big, important questions."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Crooks fired off several shots toward the crowd with an AR-15. One of the bullets nicked Trump in the upper ear.

The attack left two dead, including the gunman, who was "neutralized" by Secret Service within seconds of the attack.

Following the incident, Trump revealed that he "immediately that something was wrong" when he heard a "whizzing sound" and quickly felt "the bullet ripping through the skin."

"I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania."
