The U.S. Secret Service (USSS) is currently under intense scrutiny following the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump, which has raised concerns about the agency's culture and staffing levels.

Reports indicate that both current and former USSS employees have expressed worries about the agency's understaffing issues despite its $3 billion budget. Questions have been raised not only about the agency's failures during the July 13 incident in Butler, Pennsylvania but also about its ability to maintain team morale and attract and retain talent.
