The Secret Service said Thursday that since the assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania – the one-year anniversary of which is Sunday – it has implemented numerous operational, policy, and organizational reforms.

Among 46 recommendations made by congressional oversight bodies, the Secret Service said in a news release it has implemented 21, while 16 are in progress, and nine are addressed to non-Secret Service stakeholders.
