Trump Tower climber wanted to give candidate 'secret information'

The 19-year-old Virginian who scaled Trump Tower last week chose to climb the Republican nominee’s Manhattan skyscraper Aug. 10 because his parents were out of town, giving him an opportunity to sneak away without their knowing, according to court documents from the defendant’s Wednesday arraignment.

But Stephen Rogata apparently failed to check Donald Trump’s campaign site before making his trip to New York, or he would have learned the candidate was rallying in his home state and would not be present for his climb up the glass walls of Trump’s residence tower.
