BUTLER, Pa — During a July 13 rally, former President Donald J. Trump was shot at in an attempted assassination.

Moments later, Trump stood as the Secret Service agents crowded around him, covering his body with their own. They tried to usher the former president offstage to his left as blood trickled from his ear. “Wait, wait, wait,” Trump said. He pumped his fist as the crowd cheered, and...
