Acting Secret Service director says he's 'ashamed' after the Trump assassination attempt

  • Updated

The Secret Service’s acting director has told lawmakers he considered it indefensible that the roof used by the gunman in the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was unsecured. He also says it's regrettable that local law enforcement had not advised his agency that a gunman had been spotted on a nearby roof. Acting director Ronald Rowe also testified Tuesday that he recently visited the shooting site and laid down on the roof of the building where shots were fired in order to evaluate the gunman’s line of sight during the July 13 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Police clash with a violent crowd gathered near the site of UK stabbing attack that killed 3 girls

  • By JILL LAWLESS and BRIAN MELLEY - Associated Press
  • Updated

Far-right protesters fueled by anger and false online rumors hurled bottles and stones at officers and set a police van ablaze outside a northwest England mosque near where three girls were fatally stabbed a day earlier. Police said the violent crowd was believed to be supporters of the English Defence League and the unrest was inspired by rumors about the identity of the teenage suspect arrested on suspicion of murder. Police say 22 officers and three of their dogs were wounded. The prime minister condemned the “thuggery” Tuesday and said the crowd had hijacked what had earlier been a peaceful vigil to mourn the dead and 10 survivors.

A fan had to be wrestled away from Guinea forward Aliou Balde after rushing the field in another security incident during the Olympic men’s soccer tournament. The fan raced onto the pitch at the end of the United States’ 3-0 win against Guinea at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint-Etienne. The same venue was the scene of violence and chaos when Morocco’s win against Argentina at the start of the tournament was delayed by around two hours after Moroccan fans ran onto the field and threw bottles to protest a late goal that was eventually disallowed.

FACT FOCUS: Google autocomplete results around Trump lead to claims of election interference

  • By MELISSA GOLDIN - Associated Press

A lack of Google autocomplete results about the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump is being held up on social media as evidence of election interference. Multiple high-profile figures, including Trump and sitting members of Congress, promoted the claim across social media platforms, collectively amassing more than 1 million likes and shares by Tuesday. Google attributed the situation to existing protections against autocomplete predictions associated with political violence, noting that “no manual action was taken” to suppress information about Trump. By Tuesday, the situation around the autocomplete searches around the assassination attempt was being resolved.

Who's No. 2? Here are the top Democrats who could be a running mate for Kamala Harris

  • By The Associated Press
  • Updated

As support coalesces around Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's nominee for president, the conversation has turned to a potential running mate. Among the leading contenders are three governors — Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Roy Cooper of North Carolina and Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania — and one senator, Mark Kelly of Arizona. Harris is acting quickly to lock up Democratic delegates behind her campaign for the White House and try to secure the nomination.
