The congressional task force charged with investigating the attempted assassination on Donald Trump at a political rally on July 13 concluded its work Thursday, approving an unreleased report on their findings that recommended changes for the Secret Service.
Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania, a Republican and chair of the task force, said the members after nearly five months of work identified multiple failures at the rally in Butler, Pa., such as planning errors that led to confusion among local law enforcement partners and the failure to secure the site.
“And this is most important: Communications and intelligence failures occurred in numerous ways, ranging from … agents failing to speak up about problems they observed, training issues, inadequate resources and not having the ability to communicate with one another in the moment of the crisis,” Kelly said.
