Trump assassination attempt hearing goes off the rails as shouting match erupts between acting Secret Service director and GOP rep

Fallon lambasted Rowe for waiting days before visiting the Butler, Pa., site where Trump was nearly killed on July 13 — and then presented a photo showing the acting director near the incoming president instead of his detail during the Republican’s visit to New York to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“Who is usually at an event like this closest to the President of the United States?” Fallon asked Rowe, pointing to the photo where Trump was seen without an agent next to him. “Were you the special agent in charge of the detail that day?”

Rowe contended that the photo left the detail of view, before growing emotional.

“That is the day where we remember more than 3,000 people that have died on 911. I actually responded to Ground Zero,” he added, before accusing the congressmen of politicizing that day.

“I am a public servant who has served this nation,” he fumed.

Fallon reiterated his question.

“I was there congressman,” Rowe raged.

Fallon shot back, with his voice growing louder.

“You are out of line congressman,” Rowe hit back.
