Secret Service denied multiple requests to bolster Trump's security detail during his 2024 campaign, report find

BUTLER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 14 – The Senate report identifies denied resource requests, poor coordination, and lack of disciplinary action as key failures by the Secret Service during the July 2024 assassination attempt on Trump.

  • On July 13, 2024, a gunman shot the then-Republican presidential candidate during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, grazing his ear, as detailed in a new report.
  • The Government Accountability Office found classified intelligence was presented to Secret Service officials 10 days before the attempt, 'a cascade of preventable failures that nearly cost President Trump his life,' highlighting systemic lapses.
  • The Secret Service had no process to share classified threat information with partners when not considered an imminent threat to life, GAO report finds.
  • Limited disciplinary steps followed, as Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky said "no one has been fired," while six staffers were suspended 10 to 42 days without pay.
  • The report warns, `more work is needed`, with Shannon Venditti stating a `clear path forward for the Secret Service to improve` to prevent future threats.
