Salena Zito says Trump assassination attempt appears to be 'institutional failure'

The Washington Examiner’s Salena Zito argued a new report on the first assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump indicated this was a complete “institutional failure.”

The report, released by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday, stated that the Secret Service’s failures to protect Trump at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, were both “foreseeable” and “preventable,” including the lack of defining responsibilities for the rally’s security nor securing the building the shooter was on. Zito, who was at the rally herself, assessed that the report indicates that the lack of preparedness by the Secret Service raises even more questions on how this was allowed to happen.
