Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) claims whistleblowers said that most of former President Donald Trump’s Saturday security detail did not belong to the Secret Service.
So the day someone attempted to kill Trump and killed one person and injured two others, most of the security detail weren’t Secret Service?
Hawley noted the allegations in a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas:
According to the allegations, the July 13 rally was considered to be a ‘loose’ security event. For example, detection canines were not used to monitor entry and detect threats in the usual manner. Individuals without proper designations were able to gain access to backstage areas. Department personnel did not appropriately police the security buffer around the podium and were also not stationed at regular intervals around the event’s perimeter.In addition, whistleblower allegations suggest the majority of DHS officials were not in fact USSS agents but instead drawn from the department’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). This is especially concerning given that HSI agents were unfamiliar with standard protocols typically used at these types of events, according to the allegations.
Whistleblowers (don’t know if they’re the same as the ones today) have already alleged that Secret Service had “limited resources” at the rally due to NATO.
