"As you saw, our evidence response teams were on scene so fast, that is the reason we are going to be able to present to you this material. I was bouncing around headquarters yesterday, the Washington field office, the White House, the men and women of the FBI have not slept all weekend, the DOJ hasn't slept all weekend, and the interagency hasn't all weekend."
"They did a great job on the ground, but they remain reactive. The proactive approach is still under great scrutiny. The president of the United States is averaging an assassination attempt once a year, and there are still protocols that still so who's gonna do the investigating of the procedures?"
"I have full confidence in Secretary Markwayne Mullin. He oversees the United States Secret Service... whatever you need from the FBI, whatever we can assist in and however we can better prepare to protect our protectees going forward with the United States Secret Service, this FBI stands ready to do and we're going to improve that process under Mark Wayne's leadership."
FBI Director Kash Patel discussed the agency's swift response to the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, highlighting the dedication of FBI and DOJ personnel. Despite praise for their on-ground efforts, concerns were raised about the lack of preplanning that allowed the incident to occur. The frequency of assassination attempts against President Trump was noted, prompting questions about the effectiveness of current protocols. Patel expressed confidence in the leadership of Secretary Markwayne Mullin and the FBI's commitment to enhancing protective measures for the Secret Service.
