Ronald Rowe, the new acting director of the US Secret Service, on Tuesday appeared for a joint congressional hearing and made a major admission on former President Donald Trump's security breach. US Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. testifies before a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security and Government Affairs committees in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill on July 30, 2024 in Washington, DC. While one of the bullets hit Trump in the right ear, another killed one rallygoer and injured two others. However, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abate said that a 2019–2020 social media profile seems to be connected to the perpetrator. Amid the backlash being faced by the agency over its security lapses, Rowe mentioned that he has "lost sleep over that for the past 17 days."
