“I don’t believe there was another shooter there, but I do believe he was working with somebody. I believe it was an inside job, inside the government somewhere.”

When asked by McHugh whether she believed the motive was political, Comperatore replied, “Oh yeah, absolutely.”

The interviewer then asked whether she had seen evidence supporting that belief. (RELATED: Possible Thomas Crooks Contact Allegedly Unmasked)

The McHugh also asked what message for the President she would have and what it would be. “Just to not forget about us and remember what they went through that day. You know, we’re still here. We need answers,” she said. (RELATED: RETRACTED: FBI Docs Reveal Trump’s Would Be Assassin Contacted Butler Officials Before The Attack)
