Rowe said the Secret Service has significantly increased its security measures for Trump since he was shot and wounded in the ear in an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. A few days after the shooting, Rowe told lawmakers he was “ashamed” of the security lapses at the rally.
