An inquiry into an assassination attempt on President Trump has identified serious failures by the Secret Service in their operations. A gunman shot Trump during a rally, killing a bystander and injuring others. The Senate report criticized the agency for neglecting credible intelligence and inadequate coordination with local law enforcement. It emphasized that the operational failures represented a significant breakdown in security protocols, with the consequences not matching the severity of the situation. No disciplinary actions have been taken. The report reflects urgent calls for accountability amidst ongoing safety concerns during campaign events.
The report, released on Sunday, a year after a 20-year-old gunman opened fire on Trump, accused the presidential protection service of a pattern of negligence and communications breakdowns in planning and executing the rally.
The shooting energised Trump's bid to return to the White House as his campaign used a photo of him bloodied and pumping his fist as he was hurried offstage to woo voters.
Despite those failures, no one has been fired. It was a complete breakdown of security at every level fuelled by bureaucratic indifference, a lack of clear protocols and a shocking refusal to act on direct threats.
