Sen. Hawley: Whistleblowers say most Trump rally security ‘were not even Secret Service'
|
[FoxNews - liveblog] Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., wrote on X Friday that “whistleblowers tell me that MOST of Trump’s security detail working the event last Saturday were not even Secret Service.
“DHS assigned unprepared and inexperienced personnel,” he added, posting a letter he sent today to United States Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
“Whistleblowers who have direct knowledge of the event have approached my office. According to the allegations, the July 13 rally was considered to be a ‘loose’ security event. For example, detection canines were not used to monitor entry and detect threats in the usual manner,” Hawley wrote. “Individuals without proper designations were able to gain access to backstage areas. Department personnel did not appropriately police the security buffer around the podium and were also not stationed at regular intervals around the event’s security perimeter.”
“In addition, whistleblower allegations suggest the majority of DHS officials were not in fact USSS agents but instead drawn from the department’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). This is especially concerning given that HSI agents were unfamiliar with standard protocols typically used at these types of events, according to the allegations,” Hawley also said.
Hawley used the letter to ask Mayorkas to respond to multiple questions regarding security at the Trump campaign event.
CONGRESS DENIED ACCESS TO CRUCIAL TRUMP PROTECTION PLAN SCREAMS 'COVER YOUR A-- MODE': EXPERT
BUTLER, Pa. — Congress was denied access to the integral Ops Report that details the protection plan for former President Trump's rally, according to a lawmaker who was at Wednesday's FBI briefing and spoke to Fox News Digital on the condition of anonymity.
Paul Mauro, an attorney and retired NYPD inspector, said the Ops Report "should detail who was supposed to cover the area of the roof that (Thomas Matthew) Crooks fired from."
"If there was no Ops Plan done, or if it didn't cover that rooftop, whoever signed off on it failed badly," Mauro said.
The detailed, written plan was in the hands of the FBI as of Thursday afternoon, according to Mauro, who said the information came from a source "I absolutely, 100% trust." The FBI declined to comment.
TRUMP SHOOTER SIGNED UP TO ATTEND RALLY A WEEK BEFORE IT HAPPENED: REPORT
A person using the name Thomas Matthew Crooks signed up on July 6 to attend the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where the assassination attempt unfolded, according to ABC News.
A source familiar with the matter told the network that the individual used an encrypted email address and a cell phone number to complete the signup.
The Trump campaign reportedly announced on July 3 that the rally would be happening on July 13 in Butler.
Crooks died that day after opening fire at former President Trump.
SECRET SERVICE HAD ‘AWFUL QUICK TURN AROUND’ IN PREPARING TRUMP RALLY SITE, ORGANIZER SAYS
The president of the Butler Farm Show – where former President Trump held his rally on Saturday when the assassination attempt unfolded – tells the New York Times that Secret Service agents first visited the site less than a week before the event.
Organizers for Trump’s campaign asked to use the site in Butler on July 3 before Secret Service agents showed up to scan the area on July 8, Ken Laughlin said to the newspaper.
"It just seemed like an awful quick turn around,” he said.
Trump's rally was supposed to be held at the Butler County Airport -- but the airport was already booked out for July 13 for the Penn Township Volunteer Fire Company’s annual Mega Cruise car show, according to Stephanie Saracco, the Butler County Airport Manager.
Trump held a rally at the airport on October 31, 2020 as President.
