Whistleblowers also revealed that people were allowed into the grounds unchecked. There was no monitoring of who was getting up around the stage.
During an explosive interview with Sean Hannity, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley revealed shocking information about the recent assassination attempt on President Trump.
Allegations of incompetence, lack of coordination, and a gross disregard for security protocols have been leveled against the Secret Service and other federal agencies involved in protecting the President.
Sean Hannity: Tell us what these whistleblowers are telling you that is most alarming to you.
Josh Hawley: Well, one thing is that most of the detail assigned to Trump that day, into that rally, were not Secret Service. Most of them were from other federal agencies, including Homeland Security. And, Sean, they weren’t prepared.
They didn’t know what the procedures were. They did not have the site locked down. They were not adequately patrolling the perimeter. As you just said a moment ago, they were leaving huge gaps.
Whistleblowers also tell us that they were allowing people to come into the grounds who weren’t checked. They weren’t monitoring who was getting up around the stage. I mean, it’s unbelievable, Sean.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday demanding answers on the attempted assassination attack on President Trump at his rally in Pennsylvania last weekend.
Senator Hawley wrote that whistleblowers have notified him that a majority of the security officials working the rally last weekend were not even Secret Service personnel but were with the Homeland Security Investigations team! They were not even trained Secret Service personnel!
“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. 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.”
During the interview with Hannity, Hawley revealed that he visited the site of the attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Hawley met with local officials and inspected the building from which an unidentified sniper allegedly attempted to assassinate President Trump.
During his visit, Hawley found that the roof, from where the sniper had scaled, was hardly pitched and was at a close distance to where Trump was standing during the rally.
The whistleblowers revealed that they were not patrolling the perimeter with canines as they were supposed to do, leaving huge gaps in security.
Whistleblowers also revealed that people were allowed into the grounds unchecked. There was no monitoring of who was getting up around the stage.
Hawley also discovered that law enforcement officers were on different communication channels and weren’t coordinated. He believes someone needs to resign over this disaster.
Local authorities expressed their anger over being unfairly blamed for this incident. They claim they did their job and followed instructions given by the Secret Service.
The FBI now has more security on that site than they did on the night of the incident. When Hawley visited the site, he was asked to leave by FBI officials who claimed he shouldn’t be there.
