Video After The Jump
A Donald Trump supporter who recorded a bizarre YouTube video saying he had "an important matter" to discuss with the Republican presidential nominee, was caught on the 21st floor of Trump Tower, Wednesday, August 10, as he scaled up the side of the 58-floor building in New York City.
"I'm an independent researcher seeking private audience with you to discuss an important matter," Stephen Rogata says in the YouTube video, which was uploaded Tuesday, August 9. "I guarantee that it is in your interest to honor this request. Believe me, if my purpose was not significant I would not risk my life pursuing it. The reason I climbed your tower was to get your attention. If I had sought this via conventional means, I would be much less likely to have success, because you are a busy man with many responsibilities."
“We were in the public garden at Trump Tower when all of a sudden the guy took off his basketball shorts and sprinted down the side of the building on the ledge,” witness Blake Crowson told the New York Daily News “We thought he was BASE jumping. He had two duffel bags that looked like they had climbing ropes.”
Rogata, who is believed to be from Virginia, is now in police custody.
