By COLLEEN LONG and CALVIN WOODWARDWASHINGTON — The acting director of the Secret Service was incensed at what had happened that July evening. “What I saw made me ashamed,” Ronald Rowe Jr. said. “I cannot defend why that roof was not better secured.”The unguarded roof, easily within shooting distance of the rally stage, is just one of the myriad questions behind the worst Secret Service security failure in decades.

STEPHEN COLBERT: My love of red rice started at Stiles Point Elementary School on James Island, South Carolina. The cafeteria served it just about every day, and that was fine with me. I’ve had a lot since then, but this comes closest to the deep savory sweetness that those lunch ladies somehow whipped up in barrel-size batches. I came up with this version after food writer Alison Roman and I made her caramelized shallot pasta sauce on “The Late Show.” There was something about the aroma, both jammy and tangy, that told me it would make a killer rice. I…

The upgraded charges contained in a five-count indictment reflect the Justice Department’s assessment that he methodically plotted to kill the Republican nominee, aiming a rifle through the shrubbery surrounding Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course on an afternoon Trump was playing on it.
