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.
