GOP Sen. Johnson: Secret Service has plenty of resources, but bad management

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said that the Secret Service has enough resources, but lacks good management. 

"A lot of these people are security individuals who are detailed to the Secret Service in cases of surging protection," Johnson said in an interview Thursday with John Solomon and Amanda Head. "So they have plenty of resources [and] plenty of personnel. What they have is bad management."

The Secret Service requested more funding following the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. 

Johnson's remarks come as acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe sent a letter to lawmakers on the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, saying the agency needed "additional resources" to keep up with their mission. 

The senator expressed doubts that lawmakers would identify the parties responsible for security failures surrounding the assassination attempts.

"It's like everybody was responsible, so nobody's responsible, so nobody can be held accountable. I mean, it's maddening," he said.
