A shocking new report has unveiled alarming failures by the Secret Service in the lead-up to a near-assassination of then-candidate Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, one year ago. This revelation comes from a Government Accountability Office report released by Senator Chuck Grassley, which indicates that the Secret Service was aware of a credible threat to Trump’s life a staggering ten days before the rally but failed to inform the agents on the ground.

Eyewitnesses recall the terrifying moment when gunfire erupted, initially mistaken for fireworks, sending the crowd into chaos. “I saw President Trump go down behind that podium, and I wasn’t sure if he was going to get back up,” said reporter Alexis McAdams, who was on the scene. The report highlights a catastrophic breakdown in communication and security protocols, with Trump’s team repeatedly requesting heightened security measures that were denied.

Adding to the outrage, it was revealed that the Secret Service lacked a functioning drone on the day of the incident, as the agent responsible had only an hour of training and was unable to repair the equipment. This glaring lapse raises critical questions about the agency’s preparedness and decision-making processes.

Families of victims, like Corey Comperatore, who lost his life that day, are demanding accountability and answers. “They put my brother and everybody else in harm’s way,” said Comperatore’s sister, voicing the frustration felt by many. The report’s findings echo past security failures, reminiscent of the tragic lapses that led to 9/11.

As the Secret Service claims to have implemented significant changes since the event, the urgency for systemic reform remains. The American public is left questioning whether the agency can truly safeguard its protectees in the wake of such damning revelations. The stakes have never been higher, and the call for accountability is growing louder.
