Secret Service missed 'multiple opportunities' to prevent Trump assassination attempt: watchdog

The U.S. Secret Service "missed multiple opportunities" to prevent or disrupt the July 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump as he spoke to supporters during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General said in a report released Thursday. The 64-page document detailed several lapses in security that allowed Thomas Matthew Crooks to get a line of sight to Trump as he stood on stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, during the July 13, 2024, event.
