The panel has spent the last two months analyzing the security failures.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., walks to the chamber for the final votes of the week, at the Capitol in Washington, Friday, Sept. 20, 2024. Days after a gunman was arrested on former President Donald Trump’s golf course, the House on Friday overwhelmingly passed bipartisan legislation 405-0 to require the agency use the same standards when assigning agents to major presidential candidates as they do presidents and vice presidents.
FILE – Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump is surrounded by U.S. Secret Service agents as he is helped off the stage at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., July 13, 2024. The hearing Thursday was the first time the task force presented its findings to the public after spending weeks conducting nearly two dozen interviews with law enforcement and receiving more than 2,800 pages of documents from the Secret Service. It focused on the use of local law enforcement by the Secret Service, featuring testimony from Pennsylvania and Butler County police officials.
Cheatle called the Pennsylvania attempt on Trump’s life the Secret Service’s “most significant operational failure” in decades, but she angered lawmakers by failing to answer specific questions about the investigation.
“It’s going to be different in a lot of respects. I mean, the size of the event was very different. The use of local law enforcement was very different. The challenges were different,” said Rep. Jason Crow. “Whereas in Butler, there are very obvious series of cascading failures.”
