Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe spoke with lawmakers Thursday to discuss the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe spoke with members of both the House and Senate in closed sessions Thursday to discuss the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Rowe briefed members in both chambers about the agency’s interim report examining the USSS’s security lapses that led to a gunman being able to scale a nearby building and open fire on Trump, just minutes into his rally. Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo.
' Speaking about his own visit to the site of the July rally, Crow said 'the perimeter itself was too small...and the fact that the shooter was on a roof of a building a little more than a hundred yards away from the platform where the former president was standing and that was outside the perimeter is problematic.' The Task Force is slated to hold its first public hearing with a focus on local law enforcement later this month. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.
