Fox News
A whistleblower accused Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe of reducing critical staffing before the rally where former President Trump was shot.
Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
The whistleblower alleged that the Secret Service CSD, the division that performs threat assessment of event sites before the event occurs, did not perform its evaluation prior to the fateful rally in Western Pennsylvania on July 13.

"This is significant because CSD's duties include evaluating potential security threats outside the security perimeter and mitigating those threats during the event," Hawley wrote in a letter to Rowe on Thursday.
