The FBI statement said, "The investigation is still going on, anyone who has any information related to the investigation that can help in the investigation can submit its photos or videos online."

After the attack on Donald Trump, questions were also raised on the security arrangements of the Secret Service

After the firing incident at the rally of former US President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, fingers are now being raised on the Secret Service.

This attack on Trump is being described as a clear lapse in security. However, former President Trump himself thanked the Secret Service for responding promptly to the firing incident.

But even after this, questions are being raised on the security arrangements of the Secret Service. Some people are also calling this incident a failure of the Secret Service.

At the same time, US Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson has promised that the House will investigate the incident thoroughly.

"The American people have a right to know the truth," the speaker said in a post on X.

"We will bring Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, other DHS and FBI officials to our committees for hearings as soon as possible."

A spokesperson told The Hill that the Secret Service has agreed to brief the House Oversight Committee on the attack.

Retired Secret Service supervisor Bobby McDonald told Reuters, "Trump is always accompanied by strong security, but he may not have access to all available resources."

He believes some aspects of the incident will be investigated.

Bobby McDonald further said, "The Secret Service will now look at what happened and how they can improve their protective methods again to ensure that such incidents do not happen in the future."
