Secret Service refused police offer of drone before assassination attempt: Whistleblower

A whistleblower claims the U.S. Secret Service declined to use drone technology offered by local law enforcement to secure the rally where former President Donald Trump was shot in the ear. After the shooting, the Secret Service requested the same drone support to survey the scene, indicating a change in their approach. The whistleblower expressed concerns over the decision after it was made, noting the drones could identify and help neutralize active shooters during outdoor events like the campaign rally.
