The House Judiciary Committee alerted the FBI that whistleblowers told them the Secret Service had “limited resources” for former President Donald Trump’s rally on Saturday.
Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to kill Trump. He murdered Corey Compertore and injured David Dutch and James Copenhaver.
From the letter (emphasis mine):
Whistleblowers have disclosed to the Committee that the USSS led two briefings regarding the July 13 campaign rally on July 8, 2024, with the Western Pennsylvania Fusion Center (WPFC) and other stakeholders, to discuss the upcoming, unrelated visits by President Trump and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden. The USSS Special Agent in Charge Tim Burke reportedly told law enforcement partners that the USSS had limited resources that week because the agency was covering the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Washington, D.C. FBI personnel were present at those briefings. While the Committee recognizes that the FBI is one ofmany agencies represented in the WPFC, it is the lead federal investigative arm and a key source of intelligence on potential threats for special events in its area of responsibility.
The NATO conference ended two days before Trump’s rally.
That excuse does not make sense. At all.
I also wonder if the FBI will change its mind about cooperating with House Republicans.
Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green confirmed the FBI declined an invitation to attend a hearing next week about the rally.
However, FBI Director Christopher Wray should testify before the Judiciary Committee next Wednesday.
