Bipartisan Task Force Recommends Secret Service Reforms After Trump Assassination Attempts on December 10, 2024
Dec 10, 2024, 08:18 PM
The House's bipartisan task force investigating the assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump released its final report on December 10, 2024. The report highlights 'various failures in planning, execution, and leadership' as contributing factors that created an environment conducive to the attacks. It also points to a lack of cooperation from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI, which reportedly stonewalled certain document requests. In response to these findings, the task force has recommended a series of reforms for the Secret Service, including limiting the protection of foreign leaders during the election season to enhance security for domestic candidates. These recommendations aim to address the identified security failures and prevent similar incidents in the future.
