Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) is demanding answers after his office received a letter from a whistleblower making some shocking claims.
The allegations revolve around the second apparent assassination attempt targeting former President Donald Trump and what the Secret Service knew.

Hawley sent a letter to Acting Director of the Secret Service Ronald L. Rowe, Jr. asking for specifics behind the organization’s actions that day.
“My office has received new whistleblower information regarding the most recent attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump, raising troubling questions about Secret Service protocols on that day,” Hawley explained.
“A whistleblower with direct knowledge of Secret Service protection at former President Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach – an individual who has in fact protected President Trump at that very location – alleges there were ‘known vulnerabilities’ in the fence line surrounding the course: places that offer a clear line of sight to the former president and others playing the course,” the letter continues. “As a result, the whistleblower alleges it has been Secret Service protocol to ‘post up’ agents at these vulnerable spots when Trump visits the course. That apparently did not happen on September 15. Instead, the gunman was permitted to remain along or near the fence line for some 12 hours.”
“It is further unclear from your recent press conference whether agents swept the perimeter of the golf course at any point, or whether drones were used to surveil the fence line. The reality is that the would-be assassin should never have been able to linger around the course for that long undetected.”
Hawley demanded to know how much of what the whistleblower was claiming could be true by asking five incredibly direct questions.
- Did Secret Service personnel ‘post up’ at known vulnerabilities in the perimeter fencing?
- Did Secret Service personnel sweep the perimeter prior to the former president’s arrival on the site?
- Did Secret Service use canine unito or Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) elements to monitor the perimeter of the golf course? How were they used?
- If counter surveillance personnel were present at the golf course on September 15, as you stated at a recent press conference, in what manner were they deployed? Why did they not detect the gunman sooner?
- What was the specific counter surveillance mitigation plan fo rthe known vulnerabilities outside the fence line that day?
X users had a lot to say about this shocking accusation:
The extent of government corruption is so severe that a politician prioritizing the country and its citizens is seen as a threat. Let that sink in.

Also considering the fact that not only did they not have USSS at that specific known vulnerability, but of all the holes along the entire fenceline, the shooter just happened to spend 12 hours lying in wait at the one place that is a specific vulnerability.

It had to be someone close, in the know, because we were told it was a last minute decision to go there and very few people knew about it. I don’t know that I would trust anyone Joey recommends to protect me!

Dan had an inside guy send him an email and made it well known “They have worked that course many times and it makes nonsense that it wasn’t the case that day…The sheer luck & timing of this once again falls into The math don’t add up. https://t.co/jNGZuhkOzd

How else did the guy know when and where to be?

I thought the SS had a no fail mission?
If this is true what are the consequences for the agents and such who let this slide?

I think “inside job” at this point is the most probable scenario. They need to start dropping names already and new investigations on those names.
