From PBS NewsHour.
Chad Wolf, the former acting head of the Department of Homeland Security in the final years of the Trump administration, joined PBS News on the second night of the Republican National Convention.
PBS News co-anchor Geoff Bennett asked Wolf about the questions surrounding Donald Trump’s Secret Service detail during the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
"The American people really want to understand what went wrong here," Wolf said. "The response when you saw his agents dive on him and protect him and then obviously usher him out, great. But that’s response, right? A big part of their mission is preventative, and that’s the part that failed … a really epic failure."
