(NewsNation) — The district attorney in Butler County, Pennsylvania, said allegations officers left their posts to search for a shooter at a Trump rally are untrue.
District Attorney Richard Goldinger told NewsNation’s Brian Entin in an exclusive interview that the statements, which originated with a Pennsylvania State Police colonel, were inaccurate.
“They did not leave. They just couldn’t see where he was from where they were. The vantage point did not permit them to see where he was shooting from,” Goldinger said.
