News summary

The U.S. Secret Service faces bipartisan criticism following two recent assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump. The first incident occurred in July during a rally in Pennsylvania, where a gunman opened fire, resulting in one death and two injuries, while the second attempt took place at Trump’s golf club in Florida, where the gunman was apprehended before firing. Senators from both parties, including Sherrod Brown and John Cornyn, have expressed concern over the agency's security protocols, calling them 'slipshod' and demanding increased funding and resources. The Senate is considering rapid measures to enhance Secret Service support as lawmakers question the adequacy of protection for Trump, especially with a looming election. Trump himself praised the agency's efforts despite the incidents, while frustrations mount over the lack of transparency in investigations related to these attempts. The FBI is also involved in investigating the second assassination attempt.
