U.S. Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe, Jr., may have perjured himself when he claimed his officers "did not know" there was a threat until the first shots were fired by assassin Thomas Crooks. Rowe appeared in front of a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Senate Judiciary joint committee-hearing on the security failures leading to the assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump, in Washington, DC, on July 30, 2024.
