US Secret Service Identifies Security Breaches and Communication Failures Ahead of Trump Rally Shooting Incident

A recent report by the US Secret Service has highlighted a series of security failures that led to an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in July. Specifically, the report cites poor communication with local law enforcement, an over-reliance on mobile devices, and a lack of diligence in securing the area. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe has acknowledged that complacency on the part of some agents led to a breach of security protocols, and that the agency cannot abdicate or defer its responsibilities to others. The report also faults local and federal law enforcement for their role in the security failures.
