Secret Service Director Faces Intense Scrutiny Over Trump Assassination Attempt

Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. acknowledged the agency's "failure" to protect Donald Trump during attempted assassinations at rallies in Pennsylvania and Florida, during a House task force hearing. Rowe outlined changes, including increased use of drones and staffing, to address security gaps. The hearing included tense exchanges with Republican lawmakers, but Rowe's admission of failure was praised. Congress is considering removing the Secret Service from the Department of Homeland Security to improve its efficiency.
