Lead Secret Service agent at Trump's Butler rally knew of 'credible intelligence' of threat but didn't raise alarm, Senate report finds | 25 Sept 2024 | The Secret Service agent in charge of Donald Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler, Pa., was made aware of "credible intelligence" of a threat against the former president -- but didn't pass it along to her supervisor or others planning security for the event, a Senate report on the assassination attempt found. The 94-page report on the shooting, released Wednesday by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, determined that the Secret Service's lead advance agent for the Trump rally wrote in a security planning document that there was "no adverse intelligence" concerning the 45th president's visit to Butler -- despite being notified of an unspecified threat. Furthermore, the lead agent told Senate investigators that she notified the special agent in charge (SAIC) of the Secret Service's Pittsburgh field office about the "credible intelligence" before the rally -- but he claims that never happened.
