The Secret Service failed to search the perimeter of the West Palm Beach golf course where a suspect lurked for nearly twelve hours, raising concerns about the agency's protocols. A Secret Service agent averted an apparent assassination attempt by opening fire after spotting a gun barrel protruding from bushes. The incident follows a previous assassination attempt on Trump, further intensifying scrutiny of the Secret Service. Trump and the agency are calling for additional protection and funding before the 2024 election.
