The Secret Service was told by Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger that they could not assist with securing the building. A Secret Service official confirmed this statement. The Secret Service relied on local law enforcement to secure the rally&#8217;s surrounding area, including the building complex where the shooter was stationed. Questions have been raised about the adequacy of security measures taken to protect a former president. The Secret Service had considered stationing an officer outside the building as a security measure. Despite police snipers being inside the building, Secret Service agents were not on the roof due to it being sloped, which has been criticized as an inadequate explanation. Federal authorities are investigating the security failure at the rally, which resulted in the death of a volunteer firefighter, injuries to two other attendees, and wounds to Trump<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3178,"featured_media":2298157,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-17-at-4.10.52%E2%80%AFPM-e1721247198961.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[16097,35364,35365,3967,34163],"class_list":["post-2298156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-law-enforcement","tag-building-security","tag-government-agency","tag-police","tag-secret-service"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-17-at-4.10.52%E2%80%AFPM-e1721247198961.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2298156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3178"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2298156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2298156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2298157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2298156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2298156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2298156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
