Secret Service Faces Scrutiny Over Trump's Rally Security Lapses

The Secret Service admitted denying some of Donald Trump's campaign security requests prior to an assassination attempt. Following security lapses, an investigation and congressional hearing are set. Trump questioned how security oversights allowed the gunman to access the rally venue's roof.

The Secret Service has admitted to rejecting certain security requests from Donald Trump's campaign before an assassination attempt at a rally.

Initially, the agency denied such claims. This reversal has prompted a congressional hearing, where Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle will address security lapses that permitted a gunman's attack at Trump's rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump was injured, one person was killed and others injured, igniting fierce debate on the adequacy of protection provided. Investigations by both Homeland Security and Congress are underway.
