Secret Service failures before Trump rally shooting were ‘preventable,’ Senate panel finds
SUMMARY: A bipartisan Senate investigation has revealed significant failures by the Secret Service ahead of a July rally for former President Donald Trump, where a gunman opened fire. The report highlighted issues in planning, communications, and security coordination, contributing to an assassination attempt that injured Trump and killed a rallygoer. Investigators criticized a lack of clear authority and communication among security personnel, noting missed alerts about the shooter. Going forward, recommendations include defining roles and responsibilities better and overhauling communication strategies.
