Shocking Details Revealed in Final Report on Trump Assassination Attempt [WATCH]

The House Task Force investigating two assassination attempts on President-elect Donald Trump released its final report on Tuesday, highlighting significant security vulnerabilities and failures in leadership.

The 180-page report scrutinizes the deadly shooting at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July and raises questions about the September attempt at Trump’s Palm Beach golf course.

The bipartisan panel provided an in-depth review of the Pennsylvania incident but encountered resistance in obtaining critical information about the Florida attack.

“The Task Force notes that as of the date of publication of this report, [the Department of Homeland Security], [U.S. Secret Service], FBI, and [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] have not produced any documents responsive to the Task Force’s requests regarding the preparation for, events of, and response to the second assassination attempt that occurred on September 15,” the report states.

The report identifies multiple weaknesses in security protocols, particularly at the Palm Beach golf course.

Secret Service agents reportedly flagged the course’s outer perimeter as a “favorable position for potential snipers,” underscoring a critical vulnerability in safeguarding high-profile locations.

The task force recommended a review and overhaul of Secret Service protocols for golf courses.

Given Trump’s frequent use of golf courses during his presidency, the report suggests this would be a significant policy change to mitigate future threats.

The report also suggests Congress consider removing the Secret Service from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and reestablishing it as an independent agency.

Since 2003, the Secret Service has been housed under DHS after previously operating under the Treasury Department.

“The current structure potentially weakens USSS, a small but critically important agency, in advocating for its budget and other priorities inside a much larger entity,” the report states. “The failure in [Butler, Pennsylvania] was far from the first significant USSS failure in recent history, and it is fair to question whether USSS should continue to be housed within DHS.”

The task force argued that granting the Secret Service more autonomy could improve its operational effectiveness and budget advocacy. “A fresh look at whether USSS might benefit from the status of an independent agency, with more freedom to make budget requests and advocate for itself, would be a healthy discussion for former USSS leaders to have with Congress,” the report adds.

The lack of transparency regarding the Palm Beach attack remains a critical issue.

Lawmakers expressed frustration over the inability to obtain key documents related to the September incident, suggesting potential gaps in coordination and accountability among federal agencies tasked with protecting the president-elect.

While the report offers recommendations for policy and structural changes, it also calls for continued investigation into the September attack to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the events and prevention measures for the future.

The release of the report adds pressure on federal agencies to address the highlighted failures and implement the proposed changes to strengthen the security of high-profile officials.

The findings also set the stage for further discussions in Congress regarding the independence and efficacy of the Secret Service.
