In 2019, Business Insider’s chief video correspondent Graham Flanagan spent three days inside the James J. Rowley Training Center in Laurel, Maryland, where future United States Secret Service agents are trained.
After the 2024 attempted assassination of Trump, for which the Secret Service came under scrutiny, Business Insider shared this extended, never-before-seen version of the speech a group of new Secret Service recruits received on day one of their training in June 2019.
In April 2026, the president again faced a security incident, this time at the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner. One Secret Service agent was shot in his bulletproof vest. Trump said in a press conference following the event that the officer was “in great shape.”
The following is the original video published by Business Insider.
NOTE: Lt. Christopher Fagan, seen speaking to new recruits in the video, died in 2023.
