The Secret Service does not have any radio communications from the day of the Trump shooting in Butler Park, Pennsylvania, according to the testimony of Kimberly Cheatle, the Secret Service director who recently resigned from the role.
The astonishing admission by the former director is merely the latest in a long line of details regarding the role of the Secret Service that do not add up.
First we learned that temporary agents were in charge on the day instead of Trump’s permanent detail. Then we were informed that Secret Service agents could not protect the building from which Matthew Thomas Crooks fired at the former president because the roof was too “sloped.”
On Monday, Cheatle was asked about the Secret Service’s records of the Trump shooting by Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC).
“Does the Secret Service routinely record communications between and amongst detail?” Fry said.
“Radio communications?” Cheatle clarified.
“Any communication,” Fry said.
“Email communications are captured as well as text messages. And then depending on the detail, radio communications are recorded,” Cheatle said.
“Does the Secret Service have recorded communications from the July 13th event?” Fry asked.
“We do not have radio communications from that day,” Cheatle said.
"We do not have radio communications from that day."

Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle claims that the agency did not keep *ANY* audio recordings from the Trump assassination attempt.

“I just don’t think this is partisan,” said Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA). “If you have an assassination attempt on the president, a former president, or a candidate, you need to resign.”
Federalist report: Khanna got Cheatle to agree the recent Trump shooting was “the most serious security lapse since President [Ronald] Reagan was shot in 1981.”
“Well, do you know what Stuart Knight did — he was in charge, at the time, of the Secret Service — do you know what he did?” Khanna asked.
“He remained on duty,” Cheatle said with confidence. The California congressman corrected her.
The hearing room released an audible sigh when Cheatle could not explain why her agency did not secure the rooftop from which the gunman was able to take a direct shot at Trump and kill another rallygoer. Two more spectators in the crowd were injured.
“Can you answer why the Secret Service didn’t place a single agent on the roof?” Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., asked.
“We are still looking into the advance process,” Cheatle said.
Last week, the Secret Service director told ABC News the roof was left clear of security personnel because it was “sloped.”
Fox News reported the gunman apparently hid the firearm before the deadly shooting spree. Three counter-snipers were stationed inside the building, but none were on the rooftop.
A source also revealed that Trump’s team had repeatedly pleaded with federal officials to beef up security but were rebuffed “time and again.”
