From his home in Atlanta, Steen spoke to 10TV Reporter Kevin Landers about Saturday’s attempted assassination of the former president.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Nick Steen not only protected lives of sitting presidents but also those running for the job, including then-candidate Donald Trump.“It is a failure, something went wrong in our plan that allowed the act to happen. I would caution everybody before you disparage the law enforcement and other law enforcement, let’s let the facts play out, let's see what the Secret Service response is and if actions need to be taken, let's allow those to play out,” said Steen.
Landers posed questions of whose responsibility it was to secure the perimeter and how could they miss someone at an elevated target at an event like the rally. Steen was the special agent in charge when he protected former presidents Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush. “That was not unusual what you saw there. They were hunkering down over the protectee, using their body and body armor... for additional protection," Steen said."If you don't know where the shots are coming from, you don't want to be running towards the shots. You see a head wound, you don't know what you have.
