‘Cascade of failures' led to Trump shooting, report finds
A 'cascade' of failures allowed a gunman to shoot at Donald Trump during a campaign rally in 2024, a report into the attempted assassination has found. The Senate report, released a year after a 20-year-old gunman opened fire on Mr Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, accused the Secret Service of a pattern of negligence and communication breakdowns in the planning and execution of the rally. 'This was not a single error. It was a cascade of preventable failures that nearly cost President Trump his life,' the Senate homeland security and governmental affairs committee report said. The Secret Service is charged with protecting current and former presidents and their families, as well as visiting foreign leaders and some other senior officials. One attendee of the July 13 rally was killed and two others were injured in the shooting. The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was subsequently shot to death by Secret Service agents. 'This was not a single lapse in judgment. 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,' the committee's Republican chairman, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, said. He told CBS there was 'cultural cover-up' that he claimed masked critical security failures before the attack. Kimberly Cheatle resigned as the director of the Secret Service10 days after the shooting, amid harsh scrutiny of the agency's role. Six agents on duty during the attempt received suspensions ranging from 10 to 42 days. The committee said more than six officials should have been punished, and that two of those who were disciplined received lighter punishments than it had recommended. It highlighted the fact that no one was fired. Sean Curran, current Secret Service director, said the agency had received the report and would continue to cooperate with the committee. 'Following the events of July 13, the Secret Service took a serious look at our operations and implemented substantive reforms to address the failures that occurred that day,' Mr Curran said.
