Hawley grilled Rowe on the lack of consequences for the security lapses, exclaiming, “The Former President was SHOT! FIRE SOMEBODY! I can’t believe you would say you are being ‘persecuted.’ We’ve got people who are DEAD!” Rowe, visibly under pressure, admitted to agency-wide failures but resisted rushing to judgment without thorough investigation.
The attempted assassination occurred at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump was shot and a rallygoer was killed. The Secret Service has faced severe criticism for turning down local law enforcement’s offer of drones, which could have provided crucial surveillance.
Rowe’s testimony revealed deep flaws in the agency’s protocols and a commitment to prevent “unfair persecution” of his staff, despite the tragic outcomes. This hearing underscores the urgent need for reform and accountability within the Secret Service.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story and the ongoing quest for justice and security improvements.
