The Secret Service is currently operating with about 400 fewer employees than what Congress has authorized as the agency is facing fresh scrutiny in the wake of the second Trump assassination attempt, a report says.
The latest attempt on Trump’s life was thwarted on Sunday by a Secret Service agent who opened fire at an armed man stationed near the perimeter fence of the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. That suspect, Ryan Routh, was later tracked down and taken into custody.
On July 13, Former President Donald Trump was the target of an apparent assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, PA. The shooting happened just days before he was to accept the Republican nomination. Trump, who was shot in the ear, was surrounded by Secret Service and hurried to his SUV as he pumped his fist in a show of defiance.
