Trump released adopted report text, \u201cFinal Report of Findings and Recommendations.\u201d The report text, unanimously approved by the Task Force on December 5, highlights significant failures in the planning, execution, and leadership of the Secret Service and its law enforcement partners. The Task Force-approved report also proposes 37 actionable recommendations related both to the security failures on July 13 and to overarching structural changes the Secret Service and Congress must consider strengthen security measures and prevent similar security failures in the future.\n\nThe Task Force\u2019s findings address six key areas:\n\nButler, PA: Failures in Planning\n\nButler, PA: Failures in Execution\n\nButler, PA: Failures in Leadership\n\nButler, PA: Aftermath\n\nFBI Investigation\n\nWest Palm Beach, FL: Findings and Recommendations\n\nThroughout its nearly five-month investigation, the Task Force conducted 46 transcribed interviews with local, state, and federal agencies, reviewed nearly 20,000 pages of documents, held more than a dozen briefings with federal, state and local officials, and held two public hearings\u2014one with local law enforcement and the other with Acting Director of the Secret Service Ronald Rowe. The report also provides a list of outstanding requests to agencies that did not provide materials requested by the Task Force.\n\n\u201cThe failures that led to the tragic events of July 13 were not entirely isolated to the campaign event itself, or the days preceding it. Preexisting issues in leadership and training created an environment in which the specific failures identified above could occur. Secret Service personnel with little to no experience in advance planning roles were given significant responsibility, despite the July 13 event being held at a higher-risk outdoor venue with many line of sight issues, in addition to specific intelligence about a long-range threat. Further, some of the Secret Service agents in significant advance planning roles did not clearly understand the delineation of their responsibilities,\u201d the report states.\n\nYou can read the report adopted by the Task Force here.\n\nThe resolution approved unanimously by the U.S. House of Representatives on July 24, 2024, required the Task Force to produce a final report by December 13, 2024.\n\nThe Task Force also filed submitted Member views, which will be incorporated by the Office of the Clerk into the adopted report text from the Task Force.\n\nTranscripts from the Task Force investigation will be provided at a later date.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T22:13:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://kelly.house.gov/media/press-releases/final-report-task-force-concludes-its-investigation-releases-report-text"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.855748938396573, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
