What did Donald Trump claim about investigations on 9 Dec 2025?
Donald Trump, President of the United States ·
You know, Butler, a place called Butler, Pennsylvania. I love Butler, Pennsylvania, but it is amazing. And we had a tremendous crowd, like 55,000, 60,000 people. And I called David. I said, David, come on up.
The Butler crowd was about 15,000, not 55,000 to 60,000. Official reviews put it at some 15,000, and security was planned for 15,000 to 20,000.
Trump spoke on July 13, 2024 'to a crowd of some 15,000 people' (Independent Review Panel report to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Oct. 2024). The House task force found the Secret Service's roving teams were assigned to cover 15,000-20,000 attendees, and the Senate interim report says the rally was expected to have 15,000.
