Secret Service acting director commends agents but says more support is needed by the agency

Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe commended agents for their actions Sunday but said that more support and resources are needed for the agency to be at its best.

“Our folks are rising to this moment, but it requires all of us to be able to have good conversations and make sure we’re getting the Secret Service where it needs to be. And I am confident that we will achieve that – because we don’t have alternative,” Rowe said during a news conference on Monday.

“Success, we have to have it every day. We cannot have failures. And in order to do that we’re going ot have some hard conversations with Congress and we’re going to achieve that,” he said.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw also voiced his support for the Secret Service, noting that Trump had told him that he feels safe.
