The US Senate is now out for the saving report on security failures that allowed a gunman to shoot former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Our top story with AP's Jennifer King.
Secret Service failures ahead of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania this July were foreseeable and preventable. That's according to a bipartisan report from the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee released today, Similar to the agency's own probe, the committee panel found multiple failures on almost every level ahead of the shooting.
There was no clear chain of command among the agencies, no plan for coverage of the building where the shooter climbed up. Investigators found the Secret Service was informed about an vigil on the roof two minutes before he opened fire. A sniper saw agents running with guns drawn, but did not think to tell other officers to get Trump off the stage. Officials were operating on separate radio channels, leading to misted communications that Chairman Gary Peters described as a
game of telephone. A House panel is also looking into another attempt against Trump at his golf course in Florida earlier this month. Lawmakers say they want to find out more to try and prevent it from happening again. Jennifer King, Washington.
