Final report released on Trump assassination attempts

A bipartisan House task force released its final report on the assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday. The attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13 was “preventable and should not have happened,” according to the report. The 180-page investigation covers the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania and the second assassination attempt in Florida. The report also called on the Secret Service to review its protocols for golf courses – which would be a significant policy overhaul, given Trump and past presidents' historic penchant for golfing. Other recommendations in the 180-page report include calling on Congress to consider taking the Secret Service out from under the purview of DHS. The Task Force also recommended conserving resources by limiting who gets Secret Service protection. The House voted unanimously to form the committee earlier this year.
