Sunday marked one year since the attempt on President Trump's life at a campaign rally for the then-candidate in Butler, Pennsylvania, and a Senate committee marked the occasion by releasing a report on the shooting, which left one rallygoer as well as the shooter dead. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee found that the Secret Service failed to prevent the assassination attempt with what committee members are calling a "cascade" of mistakes that could have been prevented, the Washington Post reports. The report states that the Secret Service was asked for additional security measures by the Trump campaign as well as from Trump's Secret Service detail at least four times before the shooting, but did not beef up protection as it should have.
The report also details alleged communication failures on the day of the shooting, and accuses the Secret Service of not disciplining any of its agents until the committee subpoenaed the agency for discipline records. Multiple similar investigations have been carried out, reaching similar conclusions, the AP reports, but many questions remain. Among them: How was the open, unoccupied roof not addressed before the shooting? How did the shooter get on top of it undetected? And what exactly was his motive? (Meanwhile, Trump allies are reflecting on how the president has changed since the assassination attempt; more on that here.)
