The widow of the firefighter who was tragically killed during the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump is demanding answers.
As America closes in on the one-year anniversary of the attempted assassination of Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, Helen Comperatore’s journey of healing from her husband’s murder has been stalled by a tight-lipped Secret Service. She spoke to “Fox & Friends” and revealed what life has been like for her in the aftermath of losing her spouse.

“I’m really right at the beginning where I was back a year ago, you know, we really haven’t healed that much. We have no answers,” she explained. “I miss him just like I did last year.”
“I want to sit down with Secret Service and I want them to tell me everything that happened that day. I want to know why they failed, I wanna know what happened. Why Butler? Why was that such a failure that day? What was the reason? Why did he walk around for an hour without someone grabbing him?” she asked of the would-be assassin.
“He was a wonderful human, he was just the best dad. The best husband, I mean, he was just a wonderful man. He would help anybody. Anybody. He’d give you his last dollar,” she continued, tearing up while speaking of her husband, Corey Comperatore. “He would have helped that kid.”
Helen’s voice rings out with the same questions millions of Americans have regarding the shocking, deadly failure of the Secret Service in Butler. More than anyone else, the widow of the man who gave his life to protect others deserves to have the closure of knowing what happened that day.

Heartbreaking, she deserves justice. Feds must be held accountable.

It’s disgusting that this investigation went quiet.

This is just another cover-up. It’s ridiculous that it’s taken this long to get information. I feel very sorry for her. She should be outraged.

She absolutely deserves answers. Sadly, I don’t think she’ll ever really get them. Our government has forgone transparency.

Why don’t we know anything about the murderer that killed Corey Comperatore and the assassination attempt on Trump?
Where is the transparency?
