US Gov't Investigating Secret Service Security Plan after Trump Shooting
The US Homeland Security inspector general is investigating the Secret Service's security plan for a Trump rally shooting, as questions swirl over lapses. The Secret Service chief and local authorities dispute responsibility, with the suspected gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, seen before the attack.
House Oversight chairman Congressman James Comer demanded answers, while Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and US President Joe Biden have all taken action in response to the security failures. The Secret Service, led by director Kimberly Cheatle, condemned rightwing criticism of female agents' performance during the incident.
Thomas Crooks' interests were revealed, but his motive remains unclear. Lawmakers were informed that Crooks searched for information on major depression disorder.
Two phones belonging to Crooks were found at the rally site.
