The Secret Service held its first press conference since a recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, revealing it was the first time counter sniper teams were deployed for his campaign event. Previously, there were no counter snipers during Trump's court appearances in Manhattan, raising concerns about his safety. After the attempt on his life, the Secret Service claimed it was due to an Iranian threat, despite no new intelligence. Communication failures were highlighted, as counter snipers relied on text messages instead of radios, leading to delays in responding to threats. Local law enforcement reported a lack of communication with the Secret Service before and during the rally. The director acknowledged the need for improved coordination, but no accountability has been established for the security lapses. Concerns remain about the effectiveness of the Secret Service's response and the safety of Trump moving forward.
