One witness appeared to undercut the USSS account of killing Crooks
The deadly shooting at former President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania on July 13 was a "preventable" incident stemming from a lack of proper planning and communication between law enforcement agencies, according to a new report.The House Task Force investigating the attempts on Trump’s life is releasing their interim findings on Monday, with a final report expected by Dec. 13."Although the findings in this report are preliminary, the information obtained during the first phase of the Task Force’s investigation clearly shows a lack of planning and coordination between the Secret Service and its law enforcement partners before the rally," the report said.U.S. Secret Service (USSS) personnel at the event "did not give clear guidance" to state and local authorities about how to manage security outside of their hard perimeter, nor was there a central meeting between USSS and the law enforcement agencies supporting them the morning of the rally—two findings presented as key failures in the 51-page report.
