This admission follows a report by The Washington Post and has been confirmed by other sources, including The New York Times. The agency is currently reviewing documentation to understand the extent of the denials. Additionally, officials have admitted that the Biden Administration denied security requests by agents assigned to protect Trump, including after an assassination attempt.
