cctv reporters learned on september 25 local time that the u.s. senate homeland security and governmental affairs committee released an investigation report on the assassination of trump at a campaign rally in july this year. the investigation results stated that the incident was "foreseeable and preventable" and that the secret service and other security agencies had multiple mistakes in planning, communication, security and resource allocation.

gary peters, a michigan democrat and chairman of the senate homeland security and governmental affairs committee, said the consequences of these mistakes were dire. investigators found that there was no clear chain of command between the secret service and other security agencies. in addition, officials used multiple independent radio channels to operate, resulting in communication breakdowns.

on the 20th of this month, the u.s. secret service released a preliminary report detailing the security failures found in the "attempted assassination" of former u.s. president donald trump in july, including many aspects of the prior arrangement and execution process. ronald rowe, acting director of the secret service, said that this incident was a "failure" of the secret service and that the secret service would learn lessons and avoid repeating the same mistakes.

on july 13 this year, trump suffered an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in butler, pennsylvania. thomas matthew crooks, a 20-year-old man, fired a shot from the roof of a building less than 150 meters away from trump, injuring trump's right ear. one spectator died and two were injured. crooks was shot dead on the spot by secret service personnel. kimberly chittel, then director of the secret service, admitted that this was the "greatest failure" of the secret service's security work in decades. chittel "takes full responsibility" and has resigned.
