Congress Accuses Secret Service of Failures

The U.S. Secret Service is under scrutiny following a near-assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. admitted to security failures during Senate testimony, which followed the resignation of Director Kimberly Cheatle. Allegations have emerged suggesting that the Secret Service was deliberately set up to fail, with some members of Congress questioning whether the Biden Administration played a role in compromising Trump’s security. Trump’s campaign has begun targeting Vice President Harris in ad campaigns, as polling shows a tight race in key swing states. The Secret Service, originally established to combat counterfeiting, has evolved to protect the president and other high-profile individuals, but recent events have raised serious concerns about its effectiveness and accountability.
