Communication Breakdowns in Trump's Security
Significant communication failures preceded the failed assassination attempt on former President Trump, raising concerns about security protocols. Local SWAT team members reported that they had no contact with the Secret Service before the shooting, despite being stationed nearby for hours. They observed the shooter prior to the attack and attempted to alert the Secret Service, but it appears this information was never relayed effectively. This lack of coordination is highlighted by the criticism and complaints lodged by Secret Service agents regarding the absence of warnings about the potential threat.
