Senators are currently engaged in a heated debate over the Secret Service's handling of the Trump rally shooting incident in Butler, Pennsylvania. The acting director of the Secret Service, Ronald Rowe, recently testified before Capitol Hill, suggesting that local law enforcement failed to spot the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, on the rooftop from which he carried out the attack. However, the district attorney of Butler County contradicted Rowe's account, stating that local snipers were not responsible for monitoring that specific rooftop.
Senator Ron Johnson expressed his belief that the Secret Service is attempting to shift blame onto local law enforcement, referring to it as a potential scapegoating tactic. Senator Josh Hawley also raised concerns about the situation, describing it as having a 'cover your a--' feel to it.
