On 7/30/2024, Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said that “somebody’s gotta be fired” from the US Secret Service as a result of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

“Several of us from the military have a military background. If this happened in the military, a lot of people will be fired,” Graham said. “And if a lot of people are not fired, the system failed yet again.”

He continued: “We need to learn what happened, make corrective action, but somebody’s gotta be fired. Nothing’s gonna change until somebody loses their job.”

Graham focused many of his questions on the resources for the Secret Service and the encrypted messaging apps used by Crooks.

“Think big” when it comes to resources, Graham said. He later said his conclusion is partly that the Secret Service needs “more money and more people.”

The South Carolina senator then asked about whether the FBI gained access to encrypted messaging apps used by Crooks.

Abbate said the FBI has experienced “a range of returns.”

“We need a solution that provides lawful access to law enforcement,” he said.
