Changes at the USSS? Maybe…

During a press conference on the 2nd Trump assassination attempt on Monday, acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe conceded that changes need to be made to how agents guard protectees.

“Coming out of Butler, I have ordered a paradigm shift. The Secret Service’s protective methodologies work, and they are sound, and we saw that yesterday,” Rowe said. “But the way we are positioned right now in this dynamic threat environment, it has given me guidance to say, you know what, we need to look at what our protective methodology is. We need to get out of a reactive model and get to a readiness model.”

From The Daily Caller:

A whistleblower claimed in August that Rowe slashed the Counter Surveillance Division’s resources, which handles advanced threat assessments for venues. Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley detailed these allegations in a letter to Rowe, and alleged that the acting director retaliated against agents who raised security issues before a Trump rally on July 13.

A poll shows that roughly 30% of Americans express high confidence in the Secret Service’s ability to protect presidential candidates from violence before the upcoming November election, according to The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey published in August.

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley released a comprehensive whistleblower report following the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life.

“NEW – Following the latest assassination attempt on ⁦⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩, I’m releasing a comprehensive Whistleblower Report on the multiple failures of Secret Service & DHS – including new allegations & numerous unanswered questions due to USSS stonewalling.”
