The Secret Service and its director are currently under intense scrutiny following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. The incident has raised questions about the agency's ability to fulfill its mission of protecting high-profile individuals.
The current director, who has been in the role since 2022, is set to testify before lawmakers to address the security breach that allowed a gunman to get dangerously close to the former president. The director has acknowledged the failure and emphasized the agency's responsibility to ensure the safety of those under its protection.
