Whistleblower Reveals Unprepared DHS Agents with 2-Hour Training Protected Trump at Butler Rally

Sep 4, 2024, 01:34 AM

Senator Josh Hawley has revealed new whistleblower allegations concerning the security detail at a recent Trump rally in Butler, PA. According to the whistleblower, most of the agents assigned to protect former President Donald Trump were from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rather than the Secret Service. These DHS agents reportedly received only a two-hour online webinar training prior to the event. Additionally, it was disclosed that these agents were pulled from child exploitation cases to serve on Trump's protective detail. Whistleblowers claimed they were 'woefully unprepared' to provide security. Hawley has sent a letter to Secret Service Director Rowe to address these serious concerns.
