The House task force investigating the first assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump has released its interim report, shedding light on the security failures that led to the tragic events of July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. The report includes excerpts of new testimony from local law enforcement officials, highlighting a lack of communication and coordination that could have prevented the incident.
Based on 23 interviews with local law enforcement officials and extensive document review, the bipartisan task force concluded that the events were preventable and should not have occurred. The report's findings may increase pressure on the leadership of the US Secret Service, following a call for a complete leadership overhaul by a Homeland Security independent panel.
