Senate Report Details Security Failures in Trump Assassination Attempt

A recent bipartisan Senate report has detailed significant security failures by the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) during the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. The report highlights issues such as inadequate planning, poor communication between law enforcement agencies, and a malfunctioning counter-drone system managed by an underqualified specialist. It was revealed that this specialist had only three months of training and struggled to operate the drone defense system, allowing a drone to fly over the rally site. Senators Gary Peters and Rand Paul criticized the USSS for its 'shocking' and 'unacceptable' lapses that put Trump's safety at risk. The investigation continues, with calls for accountability and further transparency from federal agencies. Additionally, U.S. intelligence has identified Iran as a potential threat behind such assassination attempts against Trump.
