The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general is investigating the U.S. Secret Service's security measures during a July 13, 2024, rally where former President Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has faced criticism for not stationing snipers on a sloped roof from which the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired, citing safety concerns. Cheatle admitted the agency’s failure, stating, 'The buck stops with me,' and acknowledged the need for policy reviews. Despite calls for her resignation, she intends to remain in her position. Local law enforcement and Secret Service had identified Crooks as a person of interest before the shooting but failed to apprehend him in time. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas expressed full confidence in the Secret Service despite the incident.
