‚Disturbing‘ failures let would-be Trump shooter evade Secret Service before attack, final report finds

Until the first shots were fired, the security agent managing communication at a Pennsylvania rally never knew Donald Trump‘s would-be assassin had taken to the rooftops.

The Secret Service agent also testified he was unaware of a second command post set up by state police, according to the final Senate committee report on the attack.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee report also found there was „insufficient accountability“ by the Secret Service following the incident in Butler, Pennsylvania last July.

„Not a single person has been fired,“ the report said.
