There’s a new report from the General Accountability Office that has some troubling information when it comes to the protection that the Secret Service was providing to President Donald Trump before the assassination attempt on him in 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania:
The report, ordered by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, 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. It 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.
“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.
Even if it were classified, you can still identify what you could from aspects that would be non-classified or at least say there was an active threat. They didn’t even tell the local law enforcement teams or Trump’s protective team about this threat, which you would think would be basic for preparation in Butler. Basic, assuming you wanted to protect him. Local law enforcement told the GAO that if they had known, they would have provided more forces.
