“New Secret Service Head Shares Key Details About Trump Shooting at Hearing”
In a recent US Senate hearing, Ronald Rowe, the acting head of the Secret Service, expressed his deep concern over security failures related to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Rowe revealed that these failures, which included issues with drone detection and internal communication, have been troubling him greatly.
He explained that the Secret Service couldn’t detect a drone used by the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, due to technical problems. Rowe admitted that if they had detected the drone, they might have prevented the attack.
Rowe also highlighted changes being made, such as improving communication with local police and banning certain equipment at future events.
However, some questions remain unanswered, such as how Crooks managed to get a rifle onto the building’s roof.
Investigators are still trying to determine Crooks’ motive, with new evidence pointing to troubling social media posts.
Lawmakers are pressing for accountability, and Rowe promised that those responsible for any lapses would be held accountable, potentially facing serious consequences.
