The new acting director of the Secret Service, Ronald Rowe Jr., is set to testify before Congress on Tuesday alongside FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate. They will address the recent assassination attempt against former President Trump in a joint hearing with the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees.
This hearing marks the first time a member of the Secret Service will appear before Congress since the resignation of former chief Kimberly Cheatle earlier this month. Rowe has taken over the leadership of the Secret Service at a critical time when both elected officials and the public are expressing concerns about the agency's capabilities.
