Panel urges Secret Service shake-up after Trump assassination bid

Among the specific security breakdowns cited in the report was a failure to secure the building where the gunman opened fire and communications issues between the Secret Service and local law enforcement which resulted in a “chaotic mixture of radio, cell phone, text, and email being employed by different personnel at different points.”Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle resigned following the assassination attempt and was replaced by acting director Ronald Rowe.
Rowe said the Secret Service will “carefully examine the report and recommendations.”
“However, we are not waiting to act,” he said in a statement. “We have already significantly improved our readiness, operational and organizational communications and implemented enhanced protective operations for the former president and other protectees.”
The review panel did not address a thwarted assassination attempt on Trump that took place at one of his golf courses in Florida in September.
