Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe told lawmakers he’s “ashamed” over the security failure that resulted in the attempted assassination of former President Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He called what happened “a failure on multiple levels” and vowed corrective action and accountability. The shooting resulted in the former president getting shot in the ear, killed one person, and seriously wounded two others. Mr. Rowe became the acting director after Kimberly Cheatle resigned amid scrutiny over her handling of the attempted assassination. FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate also testified alongside the acting director. The two appeared before a joint hearing conducted by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee.
