Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe was directly involved in denying additional security resources and personnel, including counter-snipers, for former President Trump’s rallies and events, a report said on Tuesday.

Despite repeated requests from the agents assigned to Trump’s detail over the two years leading up to his attempted assassination on July 13, they were turned down, several sources familiar with the matter told RealClearPolitics.

Rowe succeeded Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned last week after facing bipartisan criticism for her widely criticized testimony before the House Oversight Committee. Both Rowe and Cheatle were involved in decisions to deny requests for additional magnetometers, extra agents, and other resources needed to screen attendees at large, outdoor Trump campaign rallies.

According to sources, Rowe alone decided to deny counter-sniper teams to any Trump event located beyond driving distance from D.C., RCP reported.

Rowe and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate are set to testify Tuesday before a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees. Senators from both parties have committed to pressing for answers about the assassination attempt on Trump, which resulted in the death of rally-goer Corey Comperatore and injuries to two others.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, chair of the Homeland Security panel, has announced plans to scrutinize Rowe and Abbate over the “litany of gaps and failures” in the security response.

“The hearing comes one day after the FBI released new details about its investigation into the shooting, revealing that the gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, had looked online for information about mass shootings, power plants, improvised explosive devices and the May assassination attempt of the Slovakian prime minister,” The Associated Press reported.

“The FBI also said that Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, has agreed to be interviewed by agents as a crime victim. The bureau said last week that the former president had been struck in the ear by a bullet or fragment of one. Trump said Monday evening that he expected that interview to take place Thursday,” the newswire added.
