Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe revealed the 'numerous changes' the agency implemented following the attempted assassination attempt of President-elect Trump in Butler.
Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe testified on Thursday, revealing the 'numerous changes' the agency has implemented following the attempted assassination attempt of President-elect Trump in July in Butler, Pennsylvania. 'July 13th was a failure of the Secret Service to adequately secure the Butler Farm Show site and protect President-elect Trump,' Rowe told the Task Force on the Attempted Assassination Attempt of Donald J. Trump on Thursday.
Rowe noted that the agency also underwent disciplinary measures for agents involved in the events of July 13. He said that he 'cannot comment further on specific disciplinary actions underway or being considered.' The acting director outlined his goal going forward. 'My goal is to improve our mission effectiveness and rebuild public trust.
Rowe noted that he is also prioritizing mental health and wellness programs for personnel, saying that he understands that 'the stress and pressures of the job can impact decision-making and overall performance.' 'While I cannot undo the harm that has been done, I am committed to doing everything in my power to ensure that the Secret Service never has a failure like this again,' he said.
