Secret Service 'reform' calls
The Herald|October 18, 2024
AN independent panel investigating the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally faulted the Secret Service for poor communications that day and failing to secure the building where the gunman took his shots.
Secret Service 'reform' calls

The review also found more systemic issues at the agency such as a failure to understand the unique risks facing Mr Trump and a culture of doing "more with less".

The 52-page report issued yesterday took the Secret Service to task for specific problems leading up to the July 13 rally in Butler as well as a deeper one within the agency's culture.

It recommended bringing in new, outside leadership and refocusing on its protective mission.

"The Secret Service as an agency requires fundamental reform to carry out its mission," the authors wrote to secretary of homeland security Alejandro Mayorkas - as head of the Homeland Security Department, the Secret Services' parent agency - in a letter accompanying their report.
