TL;DR

A new Ynet report reveals that the U.S. Secret Service did not establish a communications room ahead of the 2024 Trump rally shooting and missed 102 reports on the gunman, compounding a prior watchdog finding that the agency missed 102 radio transmissions.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Moments ago, The Zioneer reported on a watchdog finding that the Secret Service missed 102 radio transmissions during the July 2024 Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Now, a new report from Ynet adds that the agency also failed to set up a communications room, which may have contributed to the oversight. According to the Ynet report, the Secret Service did not establish a dedicated communications center, resulting in 102 incoming reports about the gunman being missed. The earlier watchdog report, published by the Office of the Inspector General, found that the Secret Service missed 102 local radio transmissions. The combined findings underscore systemic communication failures in the lead-up to the assassination attempt.
