from The National Pulse:
An independent panel investigating the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, has issued a scathing report, warning that similar incidents “can and will happen again” unless the Secret Service undergoes serious reforms. The 35-page report, commissioned by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, highlights critical errors made on July 13, when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at Trump, wounding him in the ear, killing rallygoer Corey Comperatore, and seriously injuring others.
The panel criticized the Secret Service for its complacency and lack of strategic foresight, calling for new leadership to address the agency’s systemic issues. “The Secret Service has become bureaucratic, complacent, and static, despite evolving risks and technological advancements,” the report states. It details major lapses, including the failure to secure the roof of a building from which Crooks fired and significant communication breakdowns.

The report dedicated itself to honoring Crooks’s victims but stressed that many of the security personnel involved had done little self-reflection in the aftermath of the attack.
The panel’s findings mirrored those of a Senate Homeland Security report, which also condemned the Secret Service’s handling of the Butler rally. The report criticized agents for showing a “surprising lack of rigor” in assessing the risks, with one senior agent even unaware of the basic layout of the venue.
The panel urged the Secret Service to bring in new leadership from outside the agency, warning that without fundamental reforms, future attacks could be inevitable.
Trump recently returned to Butler for a rally, paying tribute to Comperatore and the others affected by the attack.
