Trump team expresses dissatisfaction over lack of notification regarding suspicious-person reports prior to shooting


Former President Donald Trump’s Secret Service detail and advisers have raised concerns about not being informed of a suspicious person before an attempted assassination on July 13 in Pennsylvania. Local law enforcement had spotted the person behaving oddly but failed to alert the Trump team. Members of the Secret Service detail have expressed frustration with the lack of communication and information regarding the potential threat, which resulted in the shooting that wounded Trump and killed one rallygoer. Trump’s advisers also stated that they were unaware of any issues until the shots were fired and questioned why a warning was not passed on to them.

Tensions between Trump’s team and the Secret Service have been ongoing, with clashes over security measures at events. The Butler, Pa., shooting raised concerns about communication breakdowns and security lapses within the agency. There are ongoing investigations to determine if the information about the suspicious person was relayed to Trump’s security detail. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned under pressure last week, mentioned that reports of suspicious individuals are common and don’t always indicate a threat.

During a congressional hearing, it was revealed that local counter snipers had sent a picture of the suspect to the command center shared by state troopers and Secret Service agents. However, the information was not effectively conveyed to Trump’s security detail, leading to the failure to prevent the assassination attempt. Lawmakers are scrutinizing the events of the Butler rally to understand the breakdown in communication and security protocols that allowed the shooting to occur.
