A grandstanding acting director of the Secret Service ran into a curious member of Congress and the result was a dramatic and intense shouting match between the two.
Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe was being grilled by Texas Rep. Pat Fallon as part of the investigation by the congressional task force set up to examine the two attempts on Donald Trump’s life.
Fallon wanted to make a point about lax Secret Service protection and he brought up the 9/11 commemoration ceremony where Rowe was standing directly behind Kamala Harris in a picture Fallon displayed.
« Who is usually, at an event like this, closest to the president of the United States, security-wise? » Fallon asked Rowe.
« The SAC of the detail », Rowe answered, referring to the special agent in charge of security. Fallon wanted to know if Rowe was serving as SAC at the memorial event.
Rowe said the SAC was out of frame. So where is he?
