Recent reporting from the Washington Post has shed light on the Secret Service's investigation into an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, revealing several security breakdowns. According to the Washington Post, there were multiple lapses in security protocols during the incident.
One significant finding was that local police were not instructed to secure the rooftop from which the gunman positioned himself. Despite discussions about blocking the line of sight from the roof, this measure was never implemented. Additionally, the Secret Service's radio room, responsible for monitoring potential threats, lacked the capability to receive real-time alerts from local law enforcement on the ground.
