Final Report on Secret Service Failures at Butler Was Released and the Agency Is Out of Excuses

Secret Service Missed 102 Radio Warnings From Local Law Enforcement Before Thomas Crooks Opened Fire

The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General spent nearly two years investigating the assassination attempt on President Trump. The report is a 64-page record of failure at every level.

Local law enforcement transmitted 102 radio warnings about an increasingly urgent search for a suspicious person. The Secret Service never heard them.

Not because the transmissions didn't happen. Because the Secret Service set up its communications room 257 yards away from local law enforcement, in a completely separate location, with no shared radio channel.

While police were broadcasting alerts, Secret Service agents were receiving only five phone calls and three text messages. By the time the warnings became urgent enough to cut through the bureaucratic wall, Thomas Crooks had already fired eight rounds.
