Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe is testifying on Capitol Hill Tuesday as Congressional lawmakers grill him over alleged security failures in the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally earlier this month in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Rowe took over as acting director of the Secret Service last week when former Director Kimberly Cheatle announced she was stepping down. Her resignation came a day after she faced similar intense questioning from a congressional panel about the assassination attempt, which she called the Secret Service's"most significant operational failure" in decades.
