Donald Trump Assassination - Report: How the Secret Service Failed at Every Step

A new report by the Office of Inspector General of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has revealed serious operational and organizational failures of the US Secret Service, which, according to the report, created the conditions that enabled the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania. 

During an election rally, Trump was shot in the ear and a spectator was killed. The attacker was later neutralized by a police sniper. 

The report states that the attempt could have been prevented, but the lack of internal procedures, poor coordination, and ineffective communication between security agencies led to a failure to respond in a timely manner.

According to the investigation, the perpetrator of the attack, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was spotted on the roof of a building with a rifle about two minutes before he opened fire on Donald Trump. However, this information was not passed on in time to the team responsible for the former president's security.

The report's five main findings

1. The author's drone was never discovered 

The report reveals that the attacker flew a drone for about nine minutes over the area of ​​activity several hours before the attack, without being detected by the Secret Service. According to the report, the sole operator of the anti-drone system lacked sufficient training, had not checked the equipment the day before, and the system malfunctioned right during the drone's flight.

2. A common communication center was not established

The Secret Service and local police failed to establish a unified communication and coordination system. The two structures operated from different premises, which caused the Secret Service to lose 102 local police radio communications that linked them to the suspect.

Also, information that a gunman was on the roof was not received in time, causing Trump's security team to not be alerted.

3. Intelligence information was not shared

The report states that although the Secret Service's Intelligence Directorate had received classified information about a serious threat to Donald Trump, it was not passed on to the local office in Pittsburgh or to the agents responsible for planning the event's security. As a result, no additional security measures or personnel were requested.

4. Major deficiencies in security outside the perimeter

The investigation reveals insufficient coordination with the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) and the local ESU special unit.

Although the Secret Service reviewed the operational plans, it did not comment or request the protection of the building complex near the site of the activity, leaving the area from which the perpetrator carried out the attack unprotected.

5. The field of view towards the stage was not blocked 

The report highlights that authorities had previously identified that parts of the complex had a direct line of sight to the stage where Donald Trump was, which posed a security risk.

However, the necessary equipment was not installed to obstruct this view, allowing the attacker a clear and uninterrupted field of fire from the roof.

The report concludes with seven recommendations for strengthening security at public events. These include improving training on anti-drone systems, mandatory presence of local authorities at joint communication centers, and stricter procedures for eliminating dangerous lines of sight to protected persons.

According to the report, the US Secret Service has fully accepted all recommendations and has already begun implementing them.
