Lora Ries, who oversaw the Secret Service as Acting Deputy Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland Security during Trump’s administration, is quoted by Reuters: “How was Routh not spotted by an advance team? Did the (Secret Service) use a drone over the golf course? Dogs? If not, why not?” referring to Ryan Routh who was charged with attempting to assassinate Donald Trump.
The article also noted that “the agency also has struggled in recent years to retain agents lured by more lucrative private-sector work.”
