‘No One Has Been Fired’: Hawley Confronts Secret Service Director

On 7/30/2024, In a joint hearing with members of the Senate Judiciary and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committees, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) confronted United States Secret Service (USSS) Acting Director Ronald Rowe, demanding answers for the lack of accountability in the attempted assassination of former President Trump.

In his questioning, Senator Hawley asked Acting Director Rowe for names of those who were in charge of multiple security efforts the day the former President was shot, and Acting Director Rowe declined to identify them because they “are still operational, still doing investigations.” “Isn’t the fact that a former President was shot, that a good American is dead, that other Americans were critically wounded, isn’t that enough mission failure for you to say that [they] should probably be fired?” Senator Hawley asked. Acting Director Rowe continued to deny identification of those in charge and emphasized that he refrain from making any judgements while the investigation continues.

Transcript Highlights

The following is transcribed from the video audio:

• Who is the lead site agent who made the decision to leave the AGR building completely outside of the security perimeter
• Senator, they have not been relieved of duty
• They are still cooperating, not only being interviewed by the FBI, but also by our Office of Professional Responsibility
• Isn’t the fact that a former president was shot, that a good American is dead, that other Americans were critically wounded
• Isn’t that enough mission failure for you to say that the person who decided that that building should not be in the security perimeter probably ought to be stepped down
• Senator, I think you’re using the word decided, and I think we need to allow the investigation play out to include a discipline
• Who did make the decision then, if it wasn’t the lead site agent who made the decision, not to put that in the security perimeter
• Senator, you’re zeroing in on one particular agent
• I want to find out exactly what was the entire decision process
