Drone problems and lack of coordination, meant the July 13 security breach was not a result of a lack of resources, but a failure to anticipate the threat.
The Secret Service is responsible for multiple security failures that led to the July 13 assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president, at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to the results of the first report on the attack.
The report is the 60-day internal review that former director Kimberly Cheatle said was underway immediately after the shooting. She had been reluctant to share early details of the inquiry with Congress, leading frustrated lawmakers to call for her to resign, and she stepped down days later.Republican presidential candidate former president Donald Trump is covered by US Secret Service agents at a campaign rally in Pennyslvania.
Rowe has said the July 13 security breach was not a result of a lack of resources, but a failure to anticipate a possible threat.“We’re in the risk-mitigation business,” Rowe said. “We are not in the risk elimination business. And so we have to be able to have the personnel, the assets, and be able to spread those out for an indefinite period of time in the event that another situation … requires us to do so.
Rowe also said he is actively involved in negotiations with Congress in hopes of increasing the agency’s budget, staffing and technology. He said he will hire more than 400 special agents over the next year and that applications “are at an all-time high.” Most of the summary focuses on lapses in the Secret Service’s advance team and its coordination with state and local law enforcement before the attack.
