Secret Service chief and Trump assassination task force member get into screaming match at final hearing

WASHINGTON — The final hearing of the House task force that investigated the assassination attempts against Donald Trump devolved into an explosive moment Thursday as the acting U.S. Secret Service director engaged in a screaming match with a GOP congressman.

During the hearing on Capitol Hill, Rep. Pat Fallon, of Texas, began his line of questioning by pressing acting Director Ronald Rowe about the agency's failures to provide adequate protection for Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.

Fallon then shifted to asking about Rowe's appearance at this year's annual Sept. 11 remembrance ceremony at ground zero. The congressman displayed a large image of the event showing Rowe standing behind then-presidential candidate Trump, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, and then showed the same image but with a large red circle around Rowe's face.

Fallon asked Rowe what member of the Secret Service typically stands closest to the president at such an event, to which Rowe responded it's usually the special agent in charge of the security detail.
