One key point of discussion is the role of the Secret Service in ensuring the safety of former President Trump. Critics argue that the Secret Service failed to adequately assess and address the threats posed to Trump, leading to the near-miss incidents.

While local police are also under scrutiny for their response to the attempts, the focus of the hearing remains on the Secret Service's handling of the situation. The task force aims to identify any lapses in security protocols and recommend measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The hearing is expected to continue for several days as more evidence is presented and analyzed. The task force is committed to conducting a thorough investigation to determine the root causes of the security breaches and ensure that appropriate actions are taken to enhance security measures for public figures.
