Trump has been the center of attention since almost being assassinated twice. But what is really going on behind closed doors?
Well, a disturbing new Senate report has revealed major questions about Trump’s protection.
A recently released U.S. Senate report exposes monumental security failures by the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) during the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
This tragic event, which resulted in the death of Corey Comperatore and left others injured, highlights not just a breakdown in communication and security but a disturbing question: Does the Biden-Harris administration even care if Trump gets hurt or worse? The implications of this report point to gross negligence and perhaps a sinister indifference toward the safety of a former — and possibly future — president.
The Senate report, unveiled Wednesday morning, paints a disturbing picture of complacency and incompetence within the Secret Service. For nearly 30 minutes, the agency was aware of a credible threat — yet failed to take any meaningful action to neutralize it or protect Trump.
The events leading up to the assassination attempt raise serious questions about whether these failures were a result of mere oversight or part of a broader trend of disregard for Trump’s safety under the current administration.
According to the Senate’s findings, Secret Service personnel were first alerted to a suspicious individual, Thomas Matthew Crooks, at 5:45 p.m. Crooks was seen with a rangefinder near the AGR building — just a stone’s throw from the rally.
Despite this alarming information, the USSS failed to respond promptly. By 5:52 p.m., eight Secret Service personnel were informed of Crooks’ presence. Yet, stunningly, no action was taken to remove Trump from the stage or increase protective measures. Just two minutes before shots were fired, the Secret Service had a chance to prevent the tragedy, but they failed to act.
The report identifies 12 critical points of failure where the Secret Service’s incompetence and negligence were laid bare. These failures aren’t merely procedural oversights — they are catastrophic lapses in judgment and protocol that nearly led to the assassination of the leading Republican candidate for the presidency.
One of the most chilling aspects of the report is the behavior of a USSS counter-sniper who saw local law enforcement running toward the AGR building with their guns drawn — an unmistakable sign of an elevated threat. Yet, incredibly, the counter-sniper did not inform Trump’s protective detail. His reasoning?
The thought to notify someone “did not cross [his] mind.” This level of carelessness borders on criminal negligence and begs the question: If this were President Biden on that stage, would the same mistakes have been made?
Adding to the absurdity, the report reveals that USSS personnel had been dispatched to the rally in response to “credible intelligence” of a threat. However, many of the agents interviewed by the committee claimed they were unaware of this intelligence. How is it possible that a supposed elite protective force was so disastrously disorganized that even agents on the ground didn’t know the full extent of the threat they were facing?
This is not just incompetence — it’s a systemic failure. The Secret Service should have been on high alert from the moment credible intelligence surfaced. Instead, they acted like they were unaware of the gravity of the situation, allowing a would-be assassin to get dangerously close to President Trump. The report paints a damning picture of an agency that has grown complacent under the leadership of the Biden-Harris administration.
Let’s not forget that the Secret Service ultimately works under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which in turn answers to the current administration. Biden and Harris bear some responsibility for the complete collapse of Trump’s security on that day. They have allowed their political differences to overshadow their basic duty to protect all Americans, including former presidents.
The death of Corey Comperatore, an innocent bystander and family man, is a tragic and preventable loss. He is a victim of not only a deranged assassin but also the gross incompetence of the Secret Service.
His family now grieves the loss of a husband and father, while the American people are left wondering how it was possible for such a glaring security failure to occur at a rally for a former president.
Comperatore’s death, however, underscores something much darker. The Biden-Harris administration has shown time and again that it holds Donald Trump in disdain. Could this be why such critical failures were allowed to happen on July 13? If Trump had been hurt — or worse — would the current administration even care? Given the countless political attacks and the Biden DOJ’s relentless pursuit of Trump, it is not a stretch to suggest that their indifference to Trump’s safety contributed to the lapses in security.
The Senate report doesn’t just highlight failures in planning and execution — it reveals a shocking pattern of obstruction in the aftermath of the assassination attempt. According to the findings, key requests for documents from the FBI, DHS, ATF, and the Secret Service remain unanswered. The majority of documents that were provided are heavily redacted, effectively hamstringing the Senate committee’s ability to conduct a thorough investigation.
The Biden-Harris administration’s unwillingness to cooperate fully with this investigation is nothing short of suspicious. Why redact documents that could shed light on what went wrong? Why withhold information that could help prevent such failures in the future?
The administration’s evasive behavior raises more questions than it answers. What are they trying to hide? Are they afraid of what a full investigation might reveal — that these failures were not mere incompetence but something more sinister?
This report should be a wake-up call to all Americans, regardless of their political affiliations. The Secret Service’s failure to protect Donald Trump, a former president and a potential future president, is a national disgrace. The fact that these failures happened under the watch of the Biden-Harris administration only adds fuel to the fire of suspicion that this administration simply does not care if Trump is harmed.
Imagine for a moment if this had been President Biden or Vice President Harris on that stage. Would the Secret Service have acted with such lethargy? Would they have allowed a shooter to remain unchecked for 27 minutes? The answer, of course, is no. The political establishment, aided by a compliant media, would have been up in arms if such a tragedy had occurred under those circumstances. But because it was Trump, the response is disturbingly muted.
The American people deserve answers, and they deserve them now. The Biden-Harris administration and the Secret Service must be held accountable for this catastrophic failure. Protecting the safety of a former president is not a partisan issue — it is a matter of national security. If the Secret Service cannot fulfill this basic duty, what else are they failing at?
Donald Trump, the leading candidate in the 2024 election, remains a target not only of political enemies but also of those who wish to do him physical harm. The American people will not tolerate an administration that turns a blind eye to this reality. The failures outlined in the Senate report are preventable, and they nearly cost us the life of a man who may once again lead this nation.
The question remains: Is the Biden-Harris administration so blinded by their hatred for Trump that they are willing to risk his life? If this report is any indication, the answer might be more troubling than we’d like to admit.
Trump’s near-assassination and the systemic failures of the Secret Service under the Biden-Harris administration are a stark reminder of how dangerous political bias can become when it compromises the basic duty to protect a former president. This tragedy in Butler, Pennsylvania, should not be taken lightly — it reveals an unsettling pattern of indifference that could have ended in the loss of a major political leader and national icon.
