Whistleblowers have informed Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) that most of former President Donald Trump’s security detail at Butler, Pennsylvania during the assassination attempt against him were not Secret Service agents, but less-qualified agents from other agencies in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The whistleblowers, who are themselves members of the DHS, relayed their claims to Hawley, who then wrote the allegations in detail in a public letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The letter outlined the many security failures at Trump’s fateful Butler rally. (Related: 9 House Democrats tried to nix Secret Service protection for Trump months before assassination attempt.)

“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,” Hawley wrote. “For example, detection canines were not used to monitor entry and detect threats in the usual manner. 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 [United States Secret Service] agents but instead drawn from the department’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI),” continued Hawley. “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, a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, one of the congressional panels investigating the assassination attempt against Trump, is asking Mayorkas to provide information about DHS staffing and security lapses during the rally.

Secret Service allegedly understaffed during Trump rally

A day before Hawley’s letter to Mayorkas, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, revealed whistleblower allegations that the Secret Service was understaffed at the Trump rally.

The whistleblowers informed Jordan’s committee that, several days before Trump’s rally, the Secret Service held briefings with “stakeholders,” including officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), to discuss how the agency was being stretched thin, as it had to provide agents for Trump’s rally, a similar event with First Lady Jill Biden in Pennsylvania and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit in Washington, D.C.

While Secret Service Spokesman Anthony Guglielmi denied that “resources were diverted” from Trump’s campaign, the House Judiciary Committee still alleges that, according to the whistleblowers, law enforcement “overlooked a number of vulnerabilities prior to and during” the rally.

The whistleblowers further claimed that Trump’s security detail was asking for increased resources for weeks before the rally and that DHS had repeatedly denied these requests.

“The Committee has several unanswered questions about the failures that led to the attempted assassination of a president – the first in over 40 years – as well as the FBI’s ability to conduct a rapid, transparent and thorough investigation in the wake of its recent scandals,” read Jordan’s letter demanding that FBI Director Christopher Wray testify before the committee to answer questions. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is also expected to testify.
