Senate report faults secret service for failures in Trump assassination attempt

Shafaq News– Washington

A new Senatereport released by Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul accuses the USSecret Service of serious lapses in protecting Donald Trump during the July2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

    The finalreport echoes previous findings but emphasizes communication failures, deniedsecurity requests, and what it calls “insufficient accountability.”

    SenateHomeland Security And Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Rand Paulreleased the final report Sunday on the committee's findings from itsinvestigation into the assassination attempt by Thomas Crooks targetingthen-candidate Donald Trump, marking one year since the events in Butler,Pennsylvania.

    The reporthas few new details and is largely a rehash of information that was alreadyknown about the shooting. It largely mirrors a preliminary report on theinvestigation put forward by the then-committee Chairman, Gary Peters, inSeptember 2024.

    The reportoutlines what Paul calls “stunning failures by the United States Secret Servicethat allowed then-former President Donald J. Trump to be shot on July 13,2024.”

    “The truthis, President Trump, and the nation, was fortunate. The once-again Presidentsurvived despite being shot in the head. Since that day, there has been anotherattempt on his life and further threats to do him harm, including most recentlya renewed threat from Iran. This report reveals a disturbing pattern ofcommunication failures and negligence that culminated in a preventable tragedy.What happened was inexcusable and the consequences imposed for the failures sofar do not reflect the severity of the situation,” Paul’s report says.

    The reportstems from the committee’s bipartisan investigation launched shortly after theattack on July 13, 2024. It is based on 75,000 pages of documents produced forthe committee, according to the report.

    The report'sfindings highlight many that have already been reported about the attemptedshooting of Trump, including what it describes as “unacceptable failures” inplanning and execution of the Butler rally.

    Inparticular, it highlights, as previously reported, communication failures thatled to vulnerabilities on the day. It focuses on a previously reportedbreakdown of communications between local law enforcement and the USSS.
