The Senate committee report attributes a failed assassination attempt against Donald Trump to a series of preventable issues within the U.S. Secret Service. Trump was injured during the rally, where two attendees were also wounded and one was killed. Critical communication lapses occurred, where information regarding a suspicious individual was not disseminated in time to Trump's security detail. Furthermore, there were organizational errors, including obstructed views for the protective team, which hindered their effectiveness. The report highlights these failures on the anniversary of the shooting incident.
