The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee released its report on the assassination of Donald Trump at a campaign rally in July, local time on September 25. The findings said the incident was "foreseeable and preventable" and that the Secret Service and other security agencies had multiple failures in planning, communications, security and quotas. Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat and chairperson of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said the consequences of these failures were dire. Investigators found that there was no clear chain of command between the Secret Service and other security agencies. In addition, officials used multiple independent radio channels to operate, resulting in communication outages.
