Trump shooting: Secret Service accepts blame for communication failures

U.S. Secret Service’s acting director Ronald Rowe Jr. provided an update Friday, taking questions from the media about the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pa. “We didn’t have access to certain information, not by anybody’s fault, it just happened,” Rowe said blaming the technological set-up of two different radio bands. “There was somebody who did, in fact, radio out that they had seen the individual, with a weapon. What I can tell you is that that piece of information, that vital piece of information — and by no fault of anyone, it was a very stressful situation — It did not make it over.” Rowe said.
