Secret Service Accused of Interference in July 13 Trump Assassination Attempt Probe in Butler, PA
Nov 1, 2024, 10:14 PM
The U.S. Secret Service has been accused of interfering with an independent investigation by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General (DHS OIG) into the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. According to multiple reports and a whistleblower, Secret Service management sent emails to employees urging an 'organized response' to the investigation. The internal 'Mission Assurance' investigation conducted by the Secret Service has also been completed, with findings that align with those of the House Task Force on the Assassination Attempt against Trump. The Secret Service has released a summary of its internal investigation, revealing new details that multiple staffers were aware of clear line-of-sight risks but deemed them 'acceptable.' The report highlights failures in mitigating these risks and indicates that disciplinary actions may be warranted. The Secret Service has since implemented multiple reforms in response to the incident.
