The Secret Service is under scrutiny again — this time after a gunman hid in the shrubs along the fence of former President Donald Trump’s golf course for 12 hours.

It’s not possible for the Secret Service to shut down all traffic around the golf course, said Eckloff, who protected Trump while he was president, including at two of his golf courses in Florida. This course is in the middle of the city and taking such a step would have huge effects on residents. Anthony Cangelosi, a former Secret Service agent who is now a lecturer at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said the close call shows there’s a need for more personnel to protect Trump and they could have been used to secure the course's perimeter.
Following the second apparent assassination attempt, Biden said the Secret Service needs more resources and called on Congress to help. Rowe said the agency had “immediate needs" and that he's talking to Congress about funding.
