The Secret Service said that full federal resources weren’t given to Trump
A panel of experts to investigate the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump on July 13: a public apology to the Secretary of State
Shortly after the July 13th attempt on Trump’s life, Guglielmi said in a post on X that the Secret Service had not rebuffed requests from the campaign for more security.
“This may include utilizing state or local partners to provide specialized functions or otherwise identifying alternatives to reduce public exposure of a protectee,” Guglielmi added.
The agency provided the statement in response to an inquiry from NPR about past security requests from the Trump campaign. Former presidents receive Secret Service protection for life, unless they decline it.
The announcement comes in the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump last Saturday, a shooting in which one person was killed and two others critically wounded. Secret Service agents killed the gunman.
The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability is about to hear questions about the shooting from the director of the Secret Service.
The Committee member said he had a lot of questions and that Cheatle should be fired.
The matter is being investigated by the FBI as well as by the president, so I can’t speak to what happened on Saturday.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayrokas has named a panel of experts to conduct an independent review of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
“We are committed to getting to the bottom of what happened on July 13, and I am grateful to the distinguished members of this independent review who will bring decades of expertise in law enforcement and security operations to this important investigation,” Mayorkas said, adding: “This independent review will examine what happened and provide actionable recommendations to ensure they carry out their no-fail mission most effectively and to prevent something like this from ever happening again.”
What Happened at the Grand Budapest Super Supercongressors’ Ball in September 2011? “It’s not like there’s a breakdown in communications,” Pickle said
“I think it’s human error more than it is perimeter,” Pickle said. “Perimeter really, to me, is just avoiding the fact that there was not sufficient coverage or resources to stop that from happening.”
Any oversight will likely include the various points at which mistakes were made in planning security for the rally. William Basham, a former Secret Service director, said before such events an advance agent for the Secret Service is tasked with standing at the podium and getting a full view of what needs to be covered. At that point in the process, it was decided not to directly cover the roof from where the shot was taken.
“There was a breakdown in communications,” he said. There was a breakdown in security planning that someone could’ve been on that roof. And I just don’t think there’s a whole lot of mystery about what happened here.”
