Whistleblowers Report DHS Assigned Unprepared Personnel to Trump's Security Detail Amid Assassination Attempt
Jul 19, 2024, 02:02 PM
Whistleblowers have reported that most of former President Donald Trump's security detail at an event last Saturday was not composed of Secret Service agents. Instead, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assigned unprepared and inexperienced personnel to the task. Senator Josh Hawley highlighted this issue, raising concerns about the adequacy of the security measures in place. The incident, which occurred during an assassination attempt, has sparked questions about the intentions behind the staffing decisions, with some suggesting it may have been an intentional move to undermine Trump's safety. Additionally, reports indicate that the Secret Service was understaffed during the rally.
