Before Butler shooting, Secret Service denied multiple requests to bolster Trump's security detail during his 2024 campaign, report says​


Ahead of the assassination attempt one year ago on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the U.S. Secret Service denied multiple requests from Mr. Trump's Secret Service detail to bolster his security apparatus during his 2024 presidential campaign, according to a Senate report released Sunday.

The report from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs found that the Secret Service "denied or left unfulfilled at least 10 requests" from Mr. Trump's detail for "additional resources," including an enhanced counter drone system, counter assault team personnel and counter snipers.

On July 13, 2024, a 20-year-old gunman opened fire on Mr. Trump from the rooftop of a nearby building during a campaign rally in Butler. The president was grazed in the ear by one of the bullets, while one rallygoer was killed and two others were critically wounded in the shooting. The gunman, Thomas Crooks, was shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper. The incident prompted several investigations into the Secret Service's practices and protocols.

In an interview on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," Sen. Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, called the Secret Service's reaction to the shooting a "cascade of errors."

Paul said he believed there is a "cultural cover-up" within the Secret Service, and said he believed that there wouldn't have been any discipline within the agency if he hadn't subpoenaed their records.

"This report reveals a disturbing pattern of communication failures and negligence that culminated in a preventable tragedy," Paul, who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Committee, wrote in the report. "What happened was inexcusable and the consequences imposed for the failures so far do not reflect the severity of the situation."

The report accuses then-Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle of "falsely" testifying to Congress that "no USSS asset requests were denied for the Butler rally." Cheatle resigned nearly a year ago after testifying before Congress.

This appears to have been handled about as well as the Afghanistan withdrawal, and by the same people.

Sounds more like it was deliberate on the part of somebody high up in the SS. Somebody was enabling the shooter to have a roof to shoot from. Hopefully Cheatle is being heavily investigated for associates.

Too many errors to just be errors followed by what seems to be limited investigations.

Whether it was deliberate or merely incompetent I cannot say. The Biden administration had a well-established record of incompetence on virtually every level, so that bears consideration.

If there was any malicious intent, it certainly did not go the way they wanted it to.

Why didn't Kimberley go to prison for lying to Congress as Martha did?

Cheatle was basically forced out - bipartisan calls for her to resign. She denies lying to Congress despite evidence to the contrary.

Where it does from here is anyone's guess.

And there is more fallout:

Secret Service did not 'act on direct threats' before Trump shooting, Senate report says​


WASHINGTON — The Secret Service engaged in "stunning failures" and "negligence" that allowed then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to be shot at during a Pennsylvania rally last year, according to a scathing Senate report released on the anniversary of the assassination attempt.

The Secret Service did not act on credible intelligence and failed to appropriately communicate with local law enforcement and Trump's protective detail ahead of the July 13, 2024, event in Butler, Pennsylvania, the report released by Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul said.

"This was not a single lapse in judgment. It was a complete breakdown of security at every level—fueled by bureaucratic indifference, a lack of clear protocols, and a shocking refusal to act on direct threats," Paul, a Republican U.S. senator who represents Kentucky, said. "We must hold individuals accountable and ensure reforms are fully implemented so this never happens again.”

Cheatle, we are told, was appointed to her position by Joe Biden, or possibly his autopen, in 2022.

Yet another stunning blunder by a truly failed administration.
