Read previewThe local SWAT team assigned to guard former President Donald Trump's rally on July 13 said it had "no communication" with the Secret Service before a gunman tried to assassinate him.
In an interview published by ABC on Sunday, Woods and his team members said the first time they communicated with Secret Service agents on the ground was only after the shooting.
But The Washington Post reported on Sunday that Secret Service members on Trump's detail complained they never received the warning from the countersnipers in the AGR building.
The aftermath of the assassination attempt, which put Trump within inches of losing his life, has been a reckoning for the Secret Service.
"The assassination attempt of former President Trump on July 13th is the most significant operational failure of the Secret Service in decades," Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle said on July 22.
