Acting Secret Service Director to testify before Senate committees Thursday

Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald L. Rowe, Jr. will testify before three Senate committees Thursday, on the July 13 attempted assassination of former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The hearing, which will also feature testimony from Deputy FBI Director Paul Abbate, is titled "Examination of the Security Failures Leading to the Assassination Attempt on Former President Trump."

It is a joint hearing between the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senate Homeland Security Committee and the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee.

The testimony will unfold starting at 10 a.m. ET this morning, following days of hearings on Capitol Hill about the security lapses leading up to the July 13 shooting.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle testified on Monday before the House Oversight Committee, before resigning the following day, while FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to House lawmakers on Wednesday.
