6:31Now PlayingSen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Ct., questioned U.S. Secret Service acting director Ronald Rowe and FBI deputy director Paul Abbate in a hearing Tuesday.
"The FBI has warned us about it, year after year after year. Director Wray has come before us and said, the threat is from domestic extremism, the lone gunman. We're all aware of it in law enforcement," Blumenthal said. "So I think we need individual accountability here, and people need to be held responsible — in fact, lose their jobs, if necessary, to send a message that this massive intelligence and surveillance failure, as well as the enforcement failure, cries out for accountability."
The joint hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Senate Judiciary Committee was the latest to examine what investigators have learned about the shooter who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, as well as the security failures that preceded the deadly shooting.
Rowe, who since 2023 had been serving as deputy director of the Secret Service, was appointed acting director after Kimberly Cheatle’s resignation.
