The Secret Service and FBI are undergoing six investigations and follow-up investigations into security failures around the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
Multiple questions have been raised as to how shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to take up his position on a roof 150 yards away from Trump and open fire. He fired about eight shots before being killed by a Secret Service sniper team.
Here’s a rundown of every major Secret Service investigation following the Saturday assassination attempt.
Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General investigationThe DHS’s OIG announced an investigation to “evaluate the United States Secret Service’s (Secret Service) process for securing former President Trump’s July 13, 2024 campaign event.”
Details about the investigation are sparse. However, the Secret Service is under the umbrella of the DHS. The parent department was late to announce an investigation into the agency, but was forced into action after it slow-walked responses to other investigators.
A date hasn’t been given for when the investigation will begin.
