A Sente Report on the Hightened Assassination of Donald Trump Cited “A Cascade of At least Failures” by the Secret Service That Allawed a Would-Be Assassin to Target Him.
The Report, Released Sunday by the Senate Committee On Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Acculed the Secret Service of Denying Several Requests from Trump's Protective Detail to Incase His Security During the 2024 Campaign.
“Agents and Officers Chose Not to Retrieve Radios from Local and State Law Enforcement, Limiting Coordination At A Critical Time,” The Report Said. “Known Line-Of-Sight Vulnerability Were Identified in Advance But Not Addasted. An Inxperienced Operator was Tasked With Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems. Personnel Who Were Vital to Mission Subsche Not Not Requested.”
The Committee Found That the Secret Service “Denied or Left Unfulfilled At Least 10 Requests” from Trump's Security Detail Asking for “Additional Resources” Such As Counter Snipers, at Counter Drone System, and Counter Assault Team Personel.
The Secret Service Did Finally Grant Requests for A Counter Sniper, Which Committee Chair Sen. Rand Paul Said on Sunday's Face The Nation Prevention The Shooter from Getting Off More Shots.
“On that day, in Butler County, Pennsylvania, that was the first time he was allowed couunter snipers,” Paul Said. “If he has not had couunter snipers, that assassin would have popped up again. He did pop up again to continuous firing, and that's when he was taken out.”
Six members of the Secret Service Received Discipline Action, Such As Suspension Without Pay, Following the Assassination Attpemp, But None Have Been Fired. Committee Members Expasted Disappointment At “The Lack of Discipline Action for Other Individual Involved,” Including a Secret Service Officer Who “Failed to Relays Critical Information He Obtained … Regarding A Suspicalius Individual With A Range Finder” to the Agents Assicted To Trump. Had This Information Been Conveyed, Trump's Protective Detail Could Have Stopped Him from Taking The Stage, The Report Said.
“[The Secret Service] Did Not Want to Assess Blame, “Paul Said.” they did not want to look internally, and they wanted to discount any of their actions that might have led to this. This was a cover your ass sort of moment. “
Paul Accused Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle of Lying in Her Congressal Testimony where She Said the Agency Had Not Goten Any Requests to Incasse Trump's Security Before The Butler Rally.
“There was in Cascade of Errors,” Paul Said. “When We Talked to the People in Charge of Security, Everybody Pointed A Finger at Someone Else.”
Cheavele Denied the Allegation, Saying that When She Appered Before Congress, “The Information Provided to me by Personnel from Headquarters and the Trump Detail, to includes The Current Agency Director, Conference My statement that no requests for additional support Had Been Denied to Our Agents at Butler.”
“Any Assertion or Implication that I Provided Misleading Testimony is patently False and Does a disservice to Those Men and Women on the front line living living unfailly disciplined for a team, Rather Than Individual, Failure,” She Said.
The Report Did Not Shed Light On The Motives of the Shooter, 20-Year-Old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
