A whistleblower report released by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has unveiled severe security lapses by the U.S. Secret Service and other federal agencies during an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024. The report highlights incompetence, mismanagement, and poor resource allocation, including the absence of the Counter Surveillance Division and the rejection of local law enforcement's drone surveillance support. Critical security positions were vacated due to hot weather, and the hospital where Trump was treated was poorly secured. These failures have prompted bipartisan calls for increased oversight, additional resources, and strategic changes within the Secret Service. The revelation comes amidst another recent assassination attempt on Trump in Florida, intensifying scrutiny on the Secret Service's preparedness and effectiveness.
