Over that time the agency has seen its fair share of controversy and failure, most recently for failing to protect former President Donald Trump from a shooter who opened fire on him from roughly 150 meters away during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

A former aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul had her $3.5 million Long Island home raided by the FBI early Tuesday, law enforcement sources told The Post.
