What happened
A DHS Inspector General report reveals the Secret Service missed 102 warnings about shooter Thomas Crooks before his July 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. The agency failed to coordinate with local law enforcement and had an inactive counter-drone system, allowing Crooks to approach undetected. Crooks was killed at the scene, but the incident exposed major security flaws. The Secret Service has since implemented reforms and faced additional threats against Trump in subsequent months.
