“We Could Have Maybe Stopped Him” – Acting Secret Service Director Says Cellular Problems Prevented Agency From Launching Counter Drone (VIDEO)
Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. testified before the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security and Government Affairs committees on Tuesday about the agency’s failures that led to the attempted assassination against President Trump.
“I went to the roof of the AGR building where the assailant fired shots and laid in a prone position to evaluate his line of sight. What I saw made me ashamed,” Ronald Rowe said in his opening statement. “As a career law enforcement officer, and a 25-year veteran with the Secret Service, I cannot defend why that roof was not better secured.”
Rowe blamed local law enforcement for allowing Crooks to climb up on the roof and said Trump’s security detail had no idea there was a gunman until shots were fired.
