It has been noted that the US Secret Service chief has admitted to Congress that the agency failed to prevent the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a July 13 campaign rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
“We failed. As the director of the United States Secret Service, I take full responsibility for any security lapse,” Director Kimberly Cheatle, who faced Republican calls for her removal, stated on Monday in testimony before the Committee on Oversight and Accountability in the US House of Representatives.
“The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on July 13 is the most significant operational failure at the Secret Service in decades,” Cheatle said.
“There clearly was a mistake and we will make every effort to make sure that this never happens again,” she said.
It has been also noted that the shooting at an outdoor campaign rally wounded Trump in the right ear, killed one rally attendee, and injured two others. The suspected shooter, 20-year-old nursing home aide Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by law enforcement. The motive for the shooting is not clear.
Cheatle said Crooks had been identified as “suspicious” before Trump took the stage but had not been deemed to be a “threat”.
