Trump Shooting Incident Marks Significant Failure in Decades, Says Secret Service Director

US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has acknowledged that the agency's failure to protect former President Donald Trump from an assassination attempt on July 13 was its most significant operational failure in decades. Cheatle testified before a congressional committee, stating "On July 13, we failed" and taking full responsibility for any security lapse. The incident occurred when a 20-year-old gunman opened fire on Trump with an AR-style rifle minutes after he began speaking at a campaign event.
