Police union head says Secret Service trying to point fingers for Trump shooting; no trouble 'assigning blame'
Story by Louis Casiano • 16h •
The head of a prominent police union on Tuesday accused the acting head of the U.S. Secret Service of shifting blame after he told Congress that local authorities were supposed to have covered the rooftop where a gunman opened fire on former President Trump in a failed assassination attempt.
Patrick Yoes, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, expressed frustration at the answer given by Ronald Rowe, acting director of the Secret Service, during a joint Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Senate Committee on the Judiciary hearing examining the security failures that led to the failed assassination attempt on Trump.
"The Secret Service still cannot seem to provide any answers almost three weeks after the attempt on the former president’s life, but they don’t seem to have any trouble assigning blame on a partner agency," Yoes said. "It is the responsibility of the Secret Service to ensure the safety of their protectee — all that the local agencies can do is assist them with manpower and resources."
