A new report on the Butler, Pa., assassination attempt on President Trump reveals that the Secret Service received classified intelligence regarding a threat to Trump's life 10 days before the rally, but failed to share the information with other key agencies.
The damning report comes from the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) one year after a gunman's bullet grazed Trump's right ear during a campaign rally speech. The shooter, Thomas Crooks, killed attendee Cory Comperatore as he was protecting his family, while two others were injured.
According to Fox News, the report also identified a series of procedural and planning mistakes, including "misallocation of resources, lack of training and pervasive communication failures" that led to the near assassination.
The report had been ordered by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
"One year ago, a series of bad decisions and bureaucratic handicaps led to one of the most shocking moments in political history," Grassley said. "The Secret Service's failure on July 13 was the culmination of years of mismanagement and came after the Biden administration denied requests for enhanced security to protect President Trump. Americans should be grateful that President Trump survived that day and was ultimately reelected to restore common sense to our country."
"There were mistakes made, and that shouldn't have happened," Trump told his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, in an interview on Fox News.
