The independent panel emphasized that leadership of the Secret Service must be overhauled, primarily sourcing new appointments from outside the agency to prevent future security breaches.
The review pointed to a culture within the Secret Service that has become "bureaucratic, complacent, and static," failing to adapt to evolving security threats.
In their report, the panel warned that without significant reform, the agency would struggle to effectively protect officials, suggesting that "another Butler can and will happen again."
The panel acknowledged the efforts of current agents but highlighted major leadership failures, including deficiencies in critical-thinking skills necessary for effective security.
