The Secret Service didn't have a solid plan in place to protect Donald Trump at the hospital after this summer's shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to a report from Senator Josh Hawley.
The shooting at the former president's July 13 rally brought fierce criticism of the Secret Service and forced the head of the agency to resign. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have called for answers as to how the security failure happened, and a congressional task force is continuing to investigate the shooting.
On Monday, Hawley, a Missouri Republican, released a whistleblower report that he shared with the House Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump to help it with its investigation. In the report, Hawley said whistleblowers highlighted that security failures continued when Trump was taken to the hospital.
