Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe told lawmakers that changes were made at the agency after the July 13 assassination attempt that left President-elect Trump with a wounded ear.

At the final hearing of the House's Task Force on the Attempted Assassination Attempt of Donald J. Trump, Rowe said Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris had the "highest levels" of protection for the rest of the campaign, which he described as "commensurate with the level of protection provided to the president."

Rowe also said that the agency increased the amount of special agents assigned to protect Trump and expanded the use of drones at venues.

"My goal is to improve our mission effectiveness and rebuild public trust. One of the key systemic changes was the directive to mandate a unified command in a singular location for all protective sites, something that was not done on July 13th in Butler," Rowe said, according to prepared remarks. "This co-location enhances our communications and intelligence-sharing mechanisms with state, local and federal partners to better anticipate threats and respond to them more swiftly."

He did not disclose how many employees were disciplined or if anyone has been fired as a result of the incident.

“It is essential that we recognize the gravity of our failure on July 13, 2024,” Rowe said. “Let me be clear, there will be accountability, and that accountability is occurring.”
