Biden Orders Security Review After Trump Assassination Attempt

Secret Service Faces Scrutiny

President Joe Biden has ordered an independent review of the security plan at the rally where former President Donald Trump was shot and injured.

The Secret Service has assigned five agents to administrative duties as a result of its investigation into the failures that led to the shooting.

Secret Service acting Director Ronald Rowe provided new details about the assassination attempt at a news briefing on Friday.

The shooting occurred as Trump was leaving a rally in Washington, D.C.

The suspect, Michael Steven Sandford, fired multiple shots at Trump but missed.

The shooting has raised several questions about the Secret Service's ability to keep presidential candidates safe.

Some critics have accused the Secret Service of being too slow to respond to the attack.

Others have questioned the agency's screening process for potential threats.

The shooting led to the resignation of Secret Service Director Julia Pierson.

The agency is now conducting a review of its security procedures.

The independent review ordered by President Biden is expected to take several months to complete.
