Trump Reflects on Butler Rally Assassination Attempt

News summary

One year after the July 2024 assassination attempt at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally, President Donald Trump reflected on the incident, acknowledging major Secret Service lapses but expressing satisfaction with the investigation. Trump credited a Secret Service counter-sniper for quickly stopping the attacker but highlighted failures in building security and communication with local police. The attack, which grazed Trump and resulted in the death of firefighter Corey Comperatore, led to disciplinary action against six Secret Service agents and the resignation of the agency's director. Official reports and Trump's interviews cited systemic leadership and training problems within the Secret Service. Congressional investigations found broader issues in advance planning and agency leadership that contributed to the breakdowns. Despite these shortcomings, Trump maintained confidence in the Secret Service, calling the event a 'bad day' for the agency.
