Senate Report Reveals Secret Service Failures in July 13 Trump Assassination Attempt in Butler, PA
Sep 25, 2024, 12:21 PM
A Senate investigation has revealed significant failures by the U.S. Secret Service in the lead-up to the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The bipartisan report highlights multiple 'foreseeable' and 'preventable' mistakes, including a lack of clear decision-making and communication breakdowns. A civilian, Corey Comperatore, was killed, and Trump was shot during the incident. The report found that the Secret Service failed to properly secure the venue and did not adequately communicate threats to Trump's protective detail. An inexperienced agent flying a drone had to call a toll-free number for help, and a sniper did not alert agents despite seeing local law enforcement running towards the shooter. Whistleblowers also revealed that the Secret Service denied resources for a Trump rally in Wisconsin, contradicting claims that all candidates received equal protection. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was identified in the report, which spans 94 pages and includes testimony from the sniper team.
