Bice: Secret Service accountability

On Saturday, July 13, 2024, the nation was shocked to its core. It was on this day that President Trump almost had his life taken away in Pennsylvania. This assassination attempt left others injured and tragically resulted in the passing of Corey Comperatore. In the immediate aftermath, it was clear that the Secret Service director had failed to protect the candidate for President of the United States for the Republican Party. The Secret Service had a no-fail mission, and unfortunately, they failed. In the days and weeks following, we have seen countless examples of security failures. This has left Congress and America with more questions than answers. A major function of the legislative branch is oversight, and we must get to the bottom of what happened on July 13th to ensure it cannot happen to a Presidential candidate of any party ever again.
