“[W]e’re the United States of America,” Feldman previously told Fox News Digital. “We pump tons of money into security resources in this country, especially dealing with the federal government. And you go to a rally to provide political support for a politician … the security is provided by the federal government, and it fails.”

Crooks also parked his vehicle and flew a drone about 200 yards from where the former president would be speaking between about 3:50 p.m. and 4 p.m. that day. FBI Director Christopher Wray testified during a July 17 congressional hearing that Crooks had been at the rally site for about 70 minutes on the morning of the assassination attempt.

The House Task Force investigating the July and September assassination attempts on Trump’s life released its final report in December, detailing “preexisting conditions and leadership failures” that led to the deadly campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

“The various failures in planning, execution, and leadership on and before July 13, 2024, and the preexisting conditions that undermined the effectiveness of the human and material assets deployed that day, coalesced to create an environment in which the former President — and everyone at the campaign event — were exposed to grave danger,” the report said.

House leaders recommended the government reexamine whether the Secret Service should operate as an independent agency rather than under the Department of Homeland Security, as well as who gets access to Secret Service protection, as the number of dignitaries receiving the agency’s protection has increased every year, limiting its funds.
