Senate report details Secret Service failures in response to Trump assassination attempt in Butler
CBSN
An interim Senate report identifies planning, communications and security failures in the U.S. Secret Service's advance and security efforts during former President Donald Trump's July rally that "directly contributed" to the assassination attempt against him.
The 94-page report, released Wednesday morning, cited nearly half a dozen problems, including lack of a chain of command, poor coordination with state and local law enforcement, inadequate resources and equipment and a failure to effectively secure the site and ensure the safety of the former president at the Butler, Pennsylvania, incident.
The preliminary findings were part of a joint investigation with the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

Washington — Emil Bove, a top Justice Department official who previously served as President Trump's criminal defense attorney, declined to rule out the possibility of the president running for a third term and did not denounce the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol in a questionnaire submitted to a Senate panel considering his nomination for a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.
