WASHINGTON – A shocking new report by the U.S. Senate has pointed to serious and preventable security failures that led to the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally.
According to the bipartisan findings, the Secret Service, FBI, and local law enforcement all failed to act on critical intelligence, allowing the attacker to get dangerously close to Trump and fire multiple shots. Trump narrowly escaped with a graze wound to his ear, while one person in the crowd was killed.
Red Flags Ignored
The report states that the shooter was seen loitering near a rooftop well before the event, but no action was taken. “This was an avoidable tragedy,” the report said, adding that law enforcement failed in both planning and response.
Political Outcry Grows
The findings have triggered strong reactions from both Republicans and Democrats, who are demanding urgent changes to protect political figures. Many have called for a complete overhaul of current security protocols.
Despite the attempt on his life, Trump has vowed to continue campaigning and said the attack has only made him “more determined.”
