Trump’s attempted assassination has had a reverberating effect around the nation, felt most closely by the agency tasked with protecting him, the U.S. Secret Service.
Former President Donald Trump’s attempted assassination has had a reverberating effect around the nation and world. Of course, those reverberations are being felt acutely by the agency and personnel tasked with protecting him, the U.S. Secret Service.
Those impacts have included multiple investigations to answer the „how“ and „why“ of the attempted assassination and a devastating House Oversight and Government Affairs (OGR) Committee hearing that culminated in the Secret Service Director’s resignation, which she said was due to the „distraction“ the calls for her resignation had become.
The House OGR Committee has also demanded answers and asked at what point will the American public know what happened and what failures occurred.
With the attempted assassination of Trump, there are at least five different investigations taking place to understand what happened. The FBI is leading the investigation of the attempted assassination and the shooter. In public statements, they have given no timeline when they will release their investigative findings, although much of the information has found its way into the news.
The Secret Service is conducting a Mission Assurance investigation which according to the now former Director’s OGR testimony, also has no definitive timeframe.
We are also expecting both the House of Representatives and Senate to launch their own investigations into the attempted assassination.
