5:22Now PlayingSen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., spoke in a hearing Tuesday where U.S. Secret Service acting director Ronald Rowe and FBI deputy director Paul Abbate testified on the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
Scott questioned why the Secret Service and FBI haven’t released more information about the shooting in the aftermath.
“Do you guys realize the value of going in front of the press and answering all their questions?” Scott asked. You should be every day saying, ‘This is what we know now.’ You're a black hole. You lose the support of the American public because people don't believe you're being direct with them.”
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.
