Secret Service flaws revealed during 2024 assassination attempt on Trump

According to the report, the Secret Service did not receive 102 local radio reports about shooter Thomas Crooks because it failed to establish a single communications center with local law enforcement.

In addition, the audit found that several hours before the shooting, Crooks flew a drone over the area where the rally was held. The flight was not recorded because the Secret Service’s anti-drone system was not operational at the time.

The assassination attempt on Trump occurred on July 13, 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was wounded in the ear, one of the rally participants was killed, and two others were wounded. The attacker was eliminated.
