House unanimously passes bill enhancing Trump's Secret Service protection level after two attempted assassinations
By a 405-0 vote, lawmakers directed the Secret Service to apply uniform standards of protection “for determining the number of agents required to protect Presidents, Vice Presidents, and major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates.”The House passed a bill on Friday enhancing former President Donald Trump ’s Secret Service protection level after two attempted assassination attempts.
At a Monday press conference, Rowe told reporters that Routh “did not have line of sight to the former president” and “fled the scene” after being fired upon by a Secret Service agent on advance patrol at the course.Trump came within 300 to 500 yards of Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who was concealed in a sniper’s nest with an AK-style rifle at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla.“He did not fire or get off any shots at our agents.
“Trump is perhaps the most threatened person in the world, with threats from both domestic and foreign adversaries, including an Iranian assassination plot to avenge the death of Iran General Soleimani during Trump’s presidency,” added former Department of Homeland Security acting deputy chief of staff Lora Ries. “He should be protected to the maximum level based on that threat.”
House Task Force Ranking Member Jason Crow told reporters on Wednesday that “unlike the Butler situation, which very obviously had some failures, it does appear as those security processes and protocols were followed and the system worked as designed.”
