A recent incident at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a gunman nearly assassinated former President Trump, has shed light on the staffing and planning failures of the security detail. According to a federal law enforcement source familiar with the situation, the Secret Service was responsible for directing the failed security operation.
Reportedly, a total of 22 Secret Service agents, including advance team members, assault team members, and sniper teams, were assigned to the event. Additionally, 16 Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents were present, but no Secret Service drones were deployed during the rally.
