The U.S. Secret Service has been revamped since two attempts were made on President-elect Donald Trump’s life, the agency’s acting director, Ronald Rowe Jr., told lawmakers on Dec. 5.

Rowe said that the Secret Service has been “reorganizing and reimagining” how it does things after one man shot at Trump in Bulter, Pennsylvania, in July and another allegedly plotted to assassinate him in Florida in September.
