US Secret Service again faces scrutiny after another gunman targets Trump

Quick Summary:

WASHINGTON—For the second time in more than two months, the Secret Service that protects the highest echelon of American leaders is under scrutiny—this time after a gunman hid in the shrubs along the fence of former President Donald Trump’s golf course for 12 hours.

Authorities say Ryan Wesley Routh camped with food and a rifle just outside the 27-hole Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, where the former president was playing Sunday.

The agency doesn’t release specific information about his protection but Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Trump’s detail now includes countersurveillance, a countersniper and counterassault resources.
