It’s been less than two months since Trump was nearly assassinated. And now we’re starting to get disturbing answers.
As shocking Trump assassination developments expose a terrifying truth.
Whistleblowers have revealed to Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo., that Secret Service personnel are alarmingly “woefully unprepared” and receiving inadequate training to properly protect high-profile candidates, including former President Trump.
This comes amid disturbing new claims regarding the assassination attempt against the leading Republican presidential contender.
Hawley took to Jesse Watters Primetime on Tuesday night to expose these alarming whistleblower accounts.
According to these insiders, when Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents were reassigned to protective details, they were subjected to a mere two-hour webinar on Microsoft Teams, an approach that falls shockingly short of what’s needed to ensure the safety of someone like Trump.
These videos were not only pre-recorded but also plagued with technical issues, the whistleblowers allege.
“Imagine 1,000 people logging onto Microsoft Teams at the same time after being informed at the last minute that everyone needed to login individually,” one whistleblower told Hawley.
“Once it got rolling, the Secret Service instructor couldn’t figure out how to get the audio working on the prerecorded videos [which I’m told are the same videos as last year]. All told, they restarted the videos approximately six times… The content was not helpful.”
In a statement, the Secret Service attempted to defend itself, claiming that it “respects the role of oversight” and has cooperated fully by providing extensive documentation and making employees available for interviews. Yet, this response offers little reassurance in the wake of such a serious failure.
Adding to the concern, whistleblowers stated that these inadequate two-hour webinars haven’t been updated since the assassination attempt on Trump on July 13.
“Nothing new, nothing improved since the assassination attempt on former President Trump,” one whistleblower disclosed to Hawley.
Other HSI agents who were present at the critical July 13 Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, told Hawley’s office that they “only receive[d] one PowerPoint presentation for training.” Such minimal preparation for a high-stakes situation is simply unacceptable.
Senator Hawley didn’t hold back in condemning the government agency for what he described as a “nightmare” mishandling of the assassination attempt that shook the nation.
“This is a nightmare, the only reason we know about this stuff is because of whistleblowers,” Hawley declared.
These alarming revelations come as Hawley’s office continues to dig into the events surrounding the Trump rally shooting, striving to uncover how the would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to gain access to the AGR building rooftop with an AR-15 rifle that evening.
Hawley’s office had previously pointed out that the lead site agent on the day of the rally was known for being inexperienced and “incompetent,” a shocking detail considering the gravity of the situation.
“The site agent, the lead agent, was known to the Trump campaign to be inexperienced, to be ineffectual, to be, frankly, incompetent at their job,” Hawley had said in a prior interview on Jesse Watters Primetime.
“I’m also told by whistleblowers that on that day, she was not enforcing the normal security protocols.”
“She was not checking people’s IDs. She did not use Secret Service agents,” Hawley added. “Most of the agents there that day were not Secret Service agents. They were Homeland Security agents.”
These revelations paint a disturbing picture of an unprepared and poorly managed security apparatus, raising serious questions about the federal government’s ability to protect America’s leaders.
