Axios: “The U.S. Secret Service denied multiple requests for additional resources from President Trump‘s detail during his campaign, according to a new report on the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt. The big picture: The report released Sunday from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs detailed a “disturbing pattern of communications failures and negligence” that led to the death of a rally-goer and sparked intense scrutiny into USSS protocols.

• The report arrived one year after a gunman shot at Trump while he was giving a speech during a campaign rally. Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief attending the rally, was killed while shielding his family from the gunman.
• Since the assassination attempt, reports from lawmakers and the USSS have revealed failures in security planning and execution, communications breakdowns and tech issues that preceded the shooting.

What they’re saying: Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the chairman of the committee that compiled the new report, said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” Sunday that former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle “did not tell the truth” when she testified to Congress that no security assets were denied for the rally.

• The report, citing USSS documents, said the agency’s headquarters denied or left unfulfilled at least 10 requests from “the Donald Trump Division” for resources during his campaign, including for counter-unmanned aerial system assets and counter-sniper personnel.
• For the Butler rally, the committee did not find an “explicit denial” for counter-drone assets but said an agent revealed in an interview that a request was denied over the phone by a technical security division advance agent — a report that “was corroborated by documentation from USSS.”
• Pressed by CBS News’ Margaret Brennan whether Paul believes there was no record of the denial or if the former director actively misled Congress, he described the incident as a “cultural cover-up.”…
