The U.S. Secret Service issued a response after reports about the agency's lack of communication before, during and after the attempted assassination of former President Trump.
The U.S. Secret Service, on Sunday, issued a response to reports about the lack of communication between agencies during the attempted assassination of former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month, vowing to understand the timeline to ensure it never happens again. On July 13, Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to gain access to a roof, giving him a clear line of sight to Trump, who was speaking at a rally in Butler.
Since the assassination attempt, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned, and several law enforcement and congressional probes have been launched. Woods told ABC News that he and his team were in position hours before Trump took the stage at the Butler Farm Show, but his team's first communication with the Secret Service was 'not until after the shooting.' By then, he said, it was 'too late.
