The agency withstood criticism and a reckoning after a lone assassin grazed Donald J. Trump on the campaign trail. Today, recruiting is up.

A US Senate report released on Sunday said a "cascade" of failures allowed a gunman to shoot at Donald Trump during a campaign rally last year and faulted Secret Service discipline including the lack of firings in the wake of the attack.

Chuck Grassley, who requested the report, said in a statement that what occurred at the rally was the result of “a series of bad decisions and bureaucratic handicaps.”
