Extra: Are We Still Capable of Keeping Presidents Safe?

One week ago, the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, D.C., was cut short by a harrowing assassination attempt. President Trump, attending the annual event for the first time in his presidency, was rushed to safety by the Secret Service alongside members of his Cabinet and various lawmakers. The suspect, 31-year-old California teacher and engineer Cole Allen, faces charges of attempted assassination after allegedly rushing past a magnetometer and opening fire outside the Washington Hilton ballroom. While one Secret Service agent was struck, he was fortunately saved by his bulletproof vest and is currently recovering. In the wake of this security breach, major questions are being asked: How did this happen, and how can we protect the President at future high-profile events? Earlier this week, Charles Marino—a former Secret Service Supervisory Special Agent and DHS Advisor—joined host Dave Anthony to break down the tactical failures of that evening and the urgent changes needed to Secret Service protocols. Marino explained the challenges of keeping a President safe and what needs to be done at future, large events.
