The Secret Service is under intense scrutiny following a security breach at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania that resulted in an attempted assassination of the former president. The incident, which took place on July 13, saw a young man, armed with a rifle, manage to outmaneuver authorities and fire shots dangerously close to Donald Trump.
Questions have arisen regarding the security lapses that allowed the assailant to reach a nearby rooftop within shooting distance of the rally stage. Issues such as delayed responses, lack of coordination between law enforcement agencies, and failure to utilize available surveillance technology have been highlighted in the aftermath of the attack.
