Secret Service faces fresh scrutiny over Trump assassination attempt

The Secret Service is facing fresh scrutiny after Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Trump, hauling the long-troubled agency back into the limelight over what many see as failures on its part to protect the high-profile GOP nominee. 

Trump was bloodied Saturday during a Pennsylvania campaign rally after he said a bullet nicked his ear. One rallygoer was killed and two injured in the incident sparked by a 20-year-old gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who had perched atop a building in the vicinity of the event site.
