CNN: Secret Service Never Used Local Radios for Trump Rally Which Could Have Prevented Assassination Attempt
EXCERPT:
COHEN: "Yeah, Kate, local officials telling us that if Secret Service had picked up these radios, they likely would have heard a warning that went out three minutes before the shooter opened fire in Donald Trump‘s direction, and that warning was about a man on the roof. And that‘s been a prevailing question over the last month as various investigative bodies have been trying to determine how the shooter managed to get a clear line of sight at Donald Trump on July 13. That is rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. And look, these radios were intended to establish a direct line of communication or at least inform Secret Service about what local police officers on the ground were discussing in real time. It appears, according to the Butler County district attorney, that those radios were never picked up by Secret Service, which really underscores more broadly this disjointed communication structure that sources are describing to us that Secret Service has used not just leading up to the Butler, PA rally, but for years now. They actually do not ever have any sort of direct communication with local officers on the ground.”
