Prior warning? Secret Service to face bombshell revelation from top Homeland watchdog --Sources say inspector general about to release heavily redacted report showing it warned Secret Service about security deficiencies back in April | 1 Aug 2024 | Congress was briefed this week that months before the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Secret Service managers were warned by the Homeland inspector general about serious deficiencies, including communication woes with local police partners and inadequate training for agents who conducted security sweeps at events for protectees, sources told Just the News on Wednesday night. The concerns flagged by Homeland Security Department Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari were related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot but involve issues that have also been raised in the Secret Service's failures to stop a gunman from wounding Trump at a Butler, Pa., rally on July 13, the congressional aides said.
