Rep. Matt Gaetz has revealed that a senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official informed him of five active assassination teams targeting former President Donald Trump. According to Gaetz, three of these teams are foreign, while two are domestic. Gaetz emphasized that this information was known to DHS before a second assassination attempt on Trump, specifically before July 13. Despite this, requests for additional security for Trump went unanswered, and some members of his Secret Service detail were even removed. This revelation raises significant concerns about the current threat environment and the adequacy of protective measures for the former president.
