Police couldn't secure building shooter used to try to kill Trump, Secret Service was told: report

Local police, ahead of former President Donald Trump's Pennsylvania rally over the weekend, informed the Secret Service that they didn't have the resources to secure the building that the would-be assassin used to shoot at Trump.

According to a report from The Washington Post, the Secret Service was notified "that the local police department did not have manpower to assist with securing that building.” The outlet cited Butler County, Pennsylvania, district attorney Richard Goldinger.

An anonymous Secret Service official told the outlet that the agency was considering putting an officer and a patrol car outside the building. 

Multiple members of Congress have requested more information and documents from the Secret Service and other agencies regarding protocol and failures the day Trump was almost assassinated. 

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has previously confirmed that there was no agent on the building because it has a sloped roof. 

In a recent interview, Cheatle also took responsibility for the security failures on that day. 

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said the House will hold its first hearing about the incident with the Secret Service next week.
