An independent panel found “deep flaws” in the Secret Service that allowed the July 13 assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally. The review cited systemic failures, poor critical thinking, and unclear security responsibilities. It recommended leadership changes and a renewed focus on the agency’s core mission. Trump has since nominated Sean Curran, head of his personal Secret Service detail and a key protector during the attack, as the agency’s new director. Trump praised Curran’s bravery and leadership, expressing full confidence in him. Additionally, Trump nominated Andrew F. Puzder as U.S. ambassador to the European Union. The report stresses urgent reforms to prevent future security failures.
