U.S. Secret Service (USSS) leaders are holding a 1 p.m. update on the agency’s internal investigation following the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Acting Director Ronald Rowe said the agency had confirmed “communication deficiencies” that slowed its response when the gunman climbed up on a rooftop just outside the secure perimeter.
“For example, the Secret Service did not co-locate its security room with local law enforcement,” he said. “There was an over-reliance on mobile devices, resulting in information being siloed.”
