Report: Secret Service Missed 102 Urgent Messages Before Trump Butler, Pennsylvania Rally Shooting
The 64-page report said Secret Service missed 102 radio transmissions and failed to secure key vantage points before the attack, officials said.
- On June 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General released a 64-page report detailing a "cascade of preventable failures" in security measures at Donald Trump's 2024 Butler rally.
- Secret Service agents failed to receive 102 radio transmissions from local authorities concerning an "increasingly intense search for a suspicious person" during the event, the report states.
- The lawsuit alleges the Secret Service neglected to secure the American Glass Research International roof, where 20-year-old Thomas Crooks posted up and fired shots at the stage.
- Victims David Dutch and James Copenhaver are suing the United States government for at least $150,000 in damages, asserting the July 13, 2024, shooting was preventable.
- Beyond communication failures, investigators found the Secret Service failed to establish a joint communications room with local law enforcement and struggled with drone technology issues during the rally.
