Secret Service Admits Failures in Trump Assassination Attempt

An internal review reveals communication gaps and security lapses during the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Secret Service acting Director Ronald Rowe Jr. acknowledged multiple security lapses, including poor coordination with local law enforcement and problematic communications.
The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to fire eight shots from an unguarded rooftop, grazing Trump's ear and killing one attendee.
Local law enforcement was unaware of the Secret Service's radio frequencies, leading to critical information about the shooter not being relayed in time.
Technical issues, including a malfunctioning counter-drone device, hindered the Secret Service's ability to detect threats before the rally.
A bipartisan bill requiring equal protection standards for presidential candidates and sitting presidents was unanimously passed by the House following the incident.
