During a recent hearing, Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe shed light on the breakdown in law enforcement communications that occurred in the moments leading up to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Rowe testified that crucial information about the shooter was 'stuck' in a local law enforcement channel, hindering the Secret Service's ability to respond effectively.
Rowe explained that the only information they had received was that local authorities were dealing with an issue on the former president's right-hand side, which happened to be the direction from which the shot was fired. However, critical details such as a man on the roof with a gun were not relayed to the Secret Service in a timely manner.
