Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe provided senators with an update Thursday on the investigation into the failed assassination in a closed-door meeting. 

"I think the American people are going to be shocked, astonished and appalled by what we will report to them about the failures by the Secret Service in this assassination attempt on the former president," Blumenthal told Fox News. "But I think they also ought to be appalled and astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland Security to be more forthcoming, to be as candid and frank, as it should be to them in terms of providing information."

Blumenthal didn't go into specifics about what he learned from Thursday's meeting. Despite his statements, other lawmakers refused to comment on how the public may react to their report. 

"It will be coming out shortly. And it'll only be an interim report because there's a lot more information that we need to find," Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., told Fox News. "And we hope once this report comes out and we can get the additional information necessary to have a complete report of what happened, as well as steps of what we need to do in the future to make sure that this never happens."
