Nearly five months after the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the House task force investigating the attempt released its final report, a 180-page document outlining failures at the Secret Service.
The task force — made up of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans — said the July 13 assassination attempt was “tragic and preventable, and the litany of related security failures are unacceptable.”
Six of the report’s 37 recommendations are explicitly directed toward Congress. Two of those recommendations pose the question of whether the Secret Service should remain partially or wholly part of the Department of Homeland Security.
