Preliminary Findings Release On Trump Assassination Attempt

The preliminary findings of an investigation into the July 13th, 2024 assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump were released by Republican Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson in mid-July.

Trump was shot through the top of his ear, while one man died and two other sustained life-threatening injuries, at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th. The shooter’s vantage point atop a roof and the length of time he was able to set up his equipment prior to the attack has been the subject of a deep ongoing investigation.

Initial findings revealed that the “Secret Service did not attend a security briefing provided to local special weapons and tactics (SWAT) and sniper teams the morning of July 13, 2024.” Local law enforcement reports that communications with Secret Service were siloed and were therefore not in regular contact, despite members of law enforcement notifying command about the shooter prior to the shooting. Secret Service was apparently aware of the situation by 5:59pm, well before the shooting. (LEARN MORE: Trump Survives Assassination Attempt)

Failure To Protect?

“Local law enforcement informed Senator Johnson’s office that days before the rally, they
learned from Butler County law enforcement that Secret Service was not going to send their own
snipers to the rally and that local law enforcement would need to go “sniper heavy” in order to
ensure proper coverage. Local law enforcement learned at least a day before the rally that Secret
Service changed course and decided to send two sniper teams. If Secret Service had originally
not intended to send snipers to the rally, it is unclear why and when Secret Service changed their
plan,” the report reads. (LEARN MORE: Melania Trump Breaks Silence On Assassination Attempt)

A timeline of events was also included in the report, along with 41 outstanding questions that still need to be answered. Most of these questions revolve around the firearm used by the failed attacker, the actions of the Secret Service, and how such a catastrophic failure came to pass.
