Chad Wolf joined NewsNation to discuss the USSS and homeland security.

In a recent interview with NewsNation, Chad Wolf discussed the ongoing investigation into the assassination attempt on former President Trump. He highlighted the need for a cohesive approach, suggesting that a single lead investigation would be more effective than multiple independent reviews. Wolf emphasized that the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Inspector General has initiated an investigation, while President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas have called for an independent review.

The primary focus of these investigations is to determine whether the Secret Service adhered to its protective procedures and whether these protocols are adequate given the heightened threat profile of the former president. Wolf pointed out that this includes evaluating the role of local and state law enforcement in securing such high-profile events.

Furthermore, Wolf addressed the issue of accountability, stating that any failures identified should lead to appropriate actions, potentially up to the resignation of the Secret Service director. He underscored the importance of understanding what went wrong and holding responsible parties accountable, especially in maintaining morale within the Secret Service during these politically tumultuous times.

The interview concluded with concerns about the threat of copycat incidents and the necessity for a robust security posture for former presidents, reflecting the ongoing need to adapt to evolving security challenges.
