Secret Service communication failures during Trump event revealed
In a recent government meeting, significant concerns were raised regarding the security protocols surrounding President Trump's safety during a public event. Senators questioned why the President was not removed from the stage despite the presence of an armed individual on a nearby rooftop.

The discussion revealed that local law enforcement first spotted the suspect with a rifle at approximately 6:08 AM, but critical information regarding the weapon was not communicated to the Secret Service until moments before shots were fired. This delay raised alarms among senators, who expressed disbelief that such vital information did not reach the President's protective detail in a timely manner.

Senators pressed officials on the lack of communication channels between local law enforcement and the Secret Service, questioning whether the local police deemed the situation relevant enough to warrant immediate notification. Officials acknowledged that while local authorities were managing a critical situation, the failure to relay information about the armed individual ultimately compromised the President's safety.

The timeline of events indicated that there was a narrow window—potentially up to half a minute—during which the Secret Service could have acted to protect the President. The meeting underscored the need for improved communication protocols to ensure that critical security information is shared promptly in high-stakes situations.
