Trump assassination attempt: Inexperienced Secret Service agent flying drone called toll-free number for help
Fox News
Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs releases preliminary findings on Secret Service handling of Trump rally assassination attempt.
"Multiple foreseeable and preventable planning and operational failures by USSS contributed to [Thomas] Crooks’ ability to carry out the assassination attempt of former President Trump on July 13," the preliminary report reads. "These included unclear roles and responsibilities, insufficient coordination with state and local law enforcement, the lack of effective communications, and inoperable C-UAS systems, among many others."
According to testimony from agents from Trump's detail and the Pittsburgh field office, neither of them were aware at the time when, 27 minutes before the shooting, the Secret Service's security room and counter-sniper team was informed that a suspicious person had been spotted near the AGR building with a range finder; the shooter eventually took position on the roof of that building.
