A new report from the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) outlines the U.S. Secret Service's security failures during the first attempted assassination of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., one year ago.
The report, ordered by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reveals that the Secret Service received classified intelligence regarding a threat to Trump’s life 10 days before the rally, but failed to share the information with other key agencies. It also identified a series of procedural and planning mistakes, including "misallocation of resources, lack of training and pervasive communication failures" that led to the near assassination.
"One year ago, a series of bad decisions and bureaucratic handicaps led to one of the most shocking moments in political history," Grassley said. "The Secret Service’s failure on July 13 was the culmination of years of mismanagement and came after the Biden administration denied requests for enhanced security to protect President Trump.

It was a hit ordered by Biden, or whomever was acting for him. To God be all the glory,He saved Trump’s life, for such a time as this!
I heard a rumor that the Butler rally was the only one covered by CNN.
Curious, if true....
Intentional.
Can anyone point me to the part where Jill Bidet is mentioned?
Security lapses??? Not a chance.
It was all intentional. And I would be willing to bet that the ones who rigged it are still in office — in this make-believe government.
The “lapses” were intentional. Trump’s life was supposed to have ended that day. It was only by the grace of God that the stooge missed his mark.
Yeah, but were they on purpose?
Of course they were.
Like we didn’t know the security was faulty. 🙄🙄
She had a rally 75 miles away and took all of his good agents.
More cover-ups. This was a government sanctioned hit and the SS was in on it. And Epstein didn’t kill himself.
Trump got SS leftovers...Wonder how many women were guarding Jill? Could any of them holster their gun?
Who is Maxwell Yearick?
I’d heard that too... but a search will show that CNN did cover other rallies..
Good to know. Thanks.
This.
Looks like another one vanished after Butler, PA.
