New assassination-attempt report: Secret Service knew of threat to Trump 10 days before
WND News Center ^ | July 12, 2025

Had that information been shared, federal and local law enforcement in Butler, Pa., could have provided heightened security for the president..

A new report on the Butler, Pa., assassination attempt on President Trump 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.

The damning report comes from the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) one year after a gunman's bullet grazed Trump's right ear during a campaign rally speech. The shooter, Thomas Crooks, killed attendee Cory Comperatore as he was protecting his family, while two others were injured.

...

the report 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.

The report had been ordered by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

...

the Secret Service agent who was responsible for "identif[ying] site vulnerabilities" was new to her role, and this was "her first time planning and securing a large outdoor event as the site agent."

...

Secret Service officials denied the Donald Trump Protective Division's request for enhanced counter Unmanned Aerial Surveillance (cUAS) equipment at the Butler event

...

The new report comes out as Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., approved a subpoena to the FBI and Justice Department for more information on the Butler assassination attempt.

“Yeah, that’s why Jill had a sudden need for SS protection in wherewasit... Philly... at the same exact time?”

Yep, some ridiculous Italian Son’s and Daughters lunch event with a couple hundred people if that.

If the Biden puppet knew, Obama told him and Joe couldn’t keep his demented mouth shut.

And it’s not suspicious at all that SS Director Cheatle is BFF with Liz Cheney.

Cheney failed taking out Trump with the J6 Hearings, but understood that there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Or destroy a President.

The rooftop wouldn’t even matter if the clown couldn’t have waltzed in with an AR.

On The Conservative Treehouse several weeks before Butler I saw a post by someone who said he was friends with a s/s agent and about 7 Agents who were extremely loyal to Trump were very upset because they had been pulled replaced with inexperienced people.

And then Joe made that remark a few days before Butler that Trump was about to face something terrible.

Question - why would they tell FJB in his mental condition anything they wanted secret?

The SS critics can say what they want, but there is a group in the Fed Gov’t who want Trump gone.

Biden’s first question to Trump was why did you turn your head…that itself merits investigation
