Secret Service admits it did not search the perimeter of Trump’s golf course

Suspected gunman lurked for nearly 12 hours undetected in apparent second assassination attempt

The Secret Service did not search the perimeter of the golf course where a suspect lurked for nearly 12 hours in the apparent hope of killing Donald Trump, the agency has admitted.

The revelation has increased the pressure on an organisation that was already under intense scrutiny over alleged security failures surrounding a similar attempt on the ex-president's life two months ago and has raised questions over whether it is adequately funded.
