Biden Administration, Mayorkas Deny Secret Service Requests for Trump, Prompting Investigation
Jul 14, 2024, 12:05 PM
The Biden administration, under the direction of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, has reportedly denied repeated requests for increased Secret Service protection for former President Donald Trump. Multiple sources, including Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), claim that Trump's security detail sought additional resources, which were rebuffed by Mayorkas. However, the Secret Service has publicly denied these allegations, stating that they have, in fact, added protective resources, technology, and capabilities to accommodate Trump's increased campaign travel. The controversy has prompted calls for an investigation into the Department of Homeland Security's handling of the requests. Additionally, questions have been raised about the lack of Secret Service protection for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The House Homeland Security Committee will probe the Secret Service allegations.
