Trump to supplement their investigation\n\nWASHINGTON \u2014 In the wake of a second assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) unveiled a new, 22-page whistleblower report detailing the failures of the United States Secret Service in connection with the July 13 attempted assassination of former President Trump. The Hawley Report has been shared with the House Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump to supplement their investigation.\n\nThe Hawley Report\u2019s findings are highly damaging to the credibility of the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). They reveal a compounding pattern of negligence, sloppiness, and gross incompetence that goes back years, all of which culminated in an assassination attempt that came inches from succeeding.\n\nIn addition to a comprehensive review of previous whistleblower allegations that Senator Hawley has uncovered, the Hawley Report includes new findings from whistleblowers that have not yet been reported, including:\n\nSecret Service intelligence units\u2014teams of Secret Service agents paired with state and local law enforcement to handle reports of suspicious persons\u2014were absent from the Butler rally.\n\nThe hospital site where former President Trump received treatment after the shooting was poorly secured, and the hospital site agent could not answer basic questions about site security.\n\nTo date, Secret Service and DHS have provided virtually no answers and there remain many outstanding questions, including:\n\nWho, within the Secret Service or DHS, made the decision to deny counter sniper coverage to the rooftop from which Thomas Crooks shot former President Trump on July 13?\n\nWhen will Secret Service or DHS publicly name the lead site agent for the rally and the lead agent for the Butler visit?\n\nDid the Acting Secret Service Director ever deny resources to the Trump campaign, or USSS sniper teams, as has been reported in the press?\n\nThe Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and Department of Homeland Security have all tried to evade real accountability. Their leaders have slow-walked congressional investigations, misled the American people, and shirked responsibility. DHS is now reportedly pressuring the Secret Service not to comply with document requests by Congress about the Trump assassination attempt. The American people deserve answers.\n\nClick HERE to view the entire Hawley Report.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:46:43Z"]], "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://www.hawley.senate.gov/breaking-hawley-unveils-new-whistleblower-report-detailing-secret-service-failures-surrounding-the-attempted-assassination-of-president-trump/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6551329754292965, "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"}
