A year after the day after the attempted murder against Donald Trump, a parliamentary report denounces the “inexcusable” errors of the secret service on Sunday, responsible for protecting the high US political figures.
On July 13, 2024, a man shot Donald Trump during a campaign meeting in Butler, Pennsylvania (EAST). The candidate then left with a slight injury to the ear, but a spectator died and two were injured before the shooter was shot.
“A cascade of avoidable errors”
“It was not a simple failure, but the result of a waterfall of avoidable errors that almost cost him the life of President Trump,” the United States Senate document on the National Security Commission thundered. “What happened is inexcusable.”
The report does not return to the shooter’s shooter, still so vague, but accuses the police of repeated failures for not having seen this 20 -year -old man, Thomas Crooks, who managed to put himself on a roof and point to the candidate.
“The Secret Service did not react according to reliable intelligence” and “did not coordinate with the Local Police,” wrote Rand Paul, the Republican President of the Commission.
“It was a failure of security at all levels, made possible by bureaucratic indifference, the lack of clearly established protocols and the negative, shocking, to act in the face of direct threats,” he adds.
And, “despite these infractions, no one has been fired,” said the senator, asking some to be informed and reforms are created.
Disciplinary sanctions and resignations
Ten days after the murder attempt, the director of the Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle had resigned, and six police officers were notified of disciplinary sanctions.
In October, an Independent Investigation Commission requested a “in depth” reform of the secret, evoking “systemic problems.” Donald Trump had reused the images of this day, his high fist and his blood in blood to mobilize his troops for the November elections.
During a second attempted murder supposedly, in September, a man armed with a rifle was seen near Donald Trump while playing golf in Florida. The man had been arrested and accused.
