Senate Report on Secret Service Failures in Trump Attack
News summary

A Senate Homeland Security Committee report has revealed a series of critical failures by the U.S. Secret Service during an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. The report highlights issues such as denied requests for additional security, poor communication, and lack of coordination among federal, state, and local law enforcement. These failures allowed Thomas Crooks to fire at Trump from an unsecured rooftop, injuring Trump and others, and killing one attendee. The report criticizes the Secret Service for not acting on 'credible intelligence' and failing to inform key personnel about the imminent threat. Senators described the situation as a 'perfect storm of stunning failure' and called for significant improvements in the Secret Service's protocols and coordination mechanisms.
