Summary

A report released by the Secret Service details multiple security failures that occurred during a July 13 assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The report identifies several key lapses in security, including a failure to use technology that could have detected the attacker, a lack of communication between Secret Service agents and local police, and a failure to secure a rooftop from which the attacker fired shots. The report also notes that the Secret Service is currently undergoing investigations by the FBI, Congress, and the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General, in addition to an independent review ordered by President Biden.
