Amid widespread speculation of underperformance following Saturday’s attempted assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the director of the U.S. Secret Service has released a statement to try to reassure Americans before the start of the Republican National Convention.
The statement, released Monday by Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, said the agency had things under control on Saturday and will continue its diligence in protecting the former president.
“Secret Service personnel on the ground moved quickly during the incident, with our counter sniper team neutralizing the shooter and our agents implementing protective measures to ensure the safety of former president Donald Trump,” Cheatle said in the statement.
