    • Secret Service Director and Rep. Fallon Exchange Heated Hearing Over 9/11 Ceremony | N18G

      On December 5, 2024, Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe engaged in a heated exchange with Texas Representative Pat Fallon during a House hearing investigating two failed assassination attempts on former President Trump. The exchange escalated when Fallon questioned Rowe about his attendance at a September 11, 2021, anniversary ceremony, asking whether he was there to provide protection for high-level officials. Rowe strongly objected, telling Fallon not to invoke 9/11 for political purposes and defended his presence at the ceremony, stating he was there to represent the Secret Service. Rowe also addressed ongoing issues within the agency, stating that he was working to eliminate the "do-more-with-less" mindset, which had degraded the Secret Service. He highlighted efforts to address staffing shortages, announcing plans to hire 650 special agents and 350 uniformed officers in the coming months. Despite the tense exchange, Rowe received praise from many Republicans for his cooperation with the investigation.
