Donald Trump Secret Service: After the attack on Donald Trump, the security agency is now targeting people. The presidential candidate was attacked while holding a rally in Pennsylvania, USA. A 20-year-old man shot at Trump. The bullet passed through Trump's ear. Fortunately, there was no major damage. Now people are raising questions on the 'Secret Service' that protects Trump. Many people are demanding the resignation of the agency's director. Because agents of security agencies were also present during the rally. On the other hand, Kimberly Cheatle is the director of the Secret Service. She is being questioned the most, because many people are claiming that before the shooting, the Secret Service was informed about the presence of a suspect at the scene, but they did not take action on him at that time.
What is the job of the Secret Service?
The Secret Service, which began in 1865, was created to prevent dollar counterfeiting, but then-President William McKinley was assassinated in New York in 1901. The Secret Service was then tasked with preventing the circulation of counterfeit currency and protecting the president. Currently, the Secret Service also monitors financial fraud in addition to protecting the president and vice president. In addition, the Secret Service is also responsible for providing lifetime protection to presidents and their spouses.
This is why Donald Trump's security was necessary
Donald Trump's security was more important because he is a former president and is currently a presidential contender. As a rule, the Secret Service starts providing security to the Vice President and strong vice presidential contenders 120 days before the election. Candidates from smaller parties are not given security. On the other hand, this agency also has the power to issue warrants, but these agents can make arrests even without a warrant. It has a total of 3,200 special agents. However, Trump was attacked.
