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

The U.S. Secret Service missed multiple opportunities to prevent an assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a July 2024 campaign rally in Pennsylvania, according to a report by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General. Key failures included poor communication with local law enforcement, lack of warning about a suspect armed with a long gun on a nearby roof, and undetected drone surveillance, resulting in Trump being injured and one attendee killed.
