Secret Service under intense scrutiny amid new revelations on Trump assassination attempt

Secret Service officials rejected Donald Trump’s request for more security in the two years leading up to the assassination attempt, according to The Washington Post.

More details are emerging about the Secret Service’s failures from the day of the shooting at the former president’s Pennsylvania rally last week.

The alleged would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks had reportedly flown a drone to get aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairgrounds before Mr Trump was set to go on stage and speak.

Someone is responsible for that fiasco. So, someone or some people need to be arrested. Complete negligence!

That same missing-the-holster agent is the same one that could not shield Trump due to her stature.

Inclusiveness at its finest. You can't be inclusive if you don't welcome the suspect.

As much outrageous details that have already come out about this, I can only imagine how much worse it will get in the weeks and months to come. Imagine how much will come out immediately after the election..

DEI overrides the protection of an X-president and current presidential nominee.
