SECRET SERVICE HONCHOS DENIED TRUMP ADDITIONAL SECURITY FOR 2 YEARS
BEFORE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: DAMNING REVELATION
Katherine Donlevy | NY Post | 7-20-24
Secret Service officials repeatedly rejected Donald Trump’s
request for additional security in the two years before last
weekend’s assassination attempt
[[link removed]], The
Post has learned.
The ex-president, 78, asked for more agents and magnetometers at large
public events he attended, as well as extra snipers for outdoor
venues, four insiders told The Washington Post, which first reported
the damning revelation.
Each request was shot down by senior officials who claimed the
agency lacked the resources Trump was asking for, the outlet reported.
Secret Service agents, along with local law enforcement, were
responsible for securing the rally when 20-year-old gunman Matthew
Thomas Crooks opened fire at the Republican presidential nominee’s
campaign outdoor rally in Pennsylvania last Saturday.
Crooks was lying on a rooftop just 130 yards away

Trump when he squeezed off as many as seven rounds, grazing the
politician in the ear and killing an audience member who sat behind
the stage. Two others were seriously injured.
Outrage at the security lapse led the federal security agency to up
Trump’s detail to the same level as President Biden
[[link removed]],
The Post exclusively reported earlier this week.
The Secret Service initially denied claims that someone from Trump’s
camp asked for more help ahead of the deadly shooting as “absolutely
false.”
After massive holes in the ex-president’s security team were
revealed, however, the agency has changed its tune.
Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Secret Service, admitted to The
Washington Post that the agency had denied Trump’s request for
additional security, but claimed it had only learned about the new
information in the wake of the tragedy.
Guglielmi told The Post that there were “some instances where
specific Secret Service specialized units or resources were not
provided,” but that the agency instead utilized state or local
partners to add protections.
“The Secret Service has a vast, challenging, and intricate
mission,” Guglielmi said in a statement. “Every day we work in a
dynamic threat environment to ensure our protectees are safe and
secure across multiple events, travel, and other difficult
environments. We execute a comprehensive and layered strategy to
balance personnel, technology, and specialized operational needs.”
Insiders told The Post that local law enforcement was recruited for
the Butler, Pennsylvania rally because Secret Service headquarters
denied the ex-president’s request for extra resources.
Trump’s personal detail asks Secret Service headquarters for
resources –manpower, equipment, tech — headquarters approves or
denies at their discretion.
Only when denied would the detail inquire with the field office, which
would backfill with any available resources, including local law
enforcement.
The extent to what security Trump is provided varies from event to
event depending on what the local field office can provide, sources
told The Post.
Ultimately, the Secret Service headquarters is the authority on what
resources are permitted to be doled out.
The Secret Service has been strongly criticized for failing to stop
Crooks

he fired on the ex-president.
Trump has continued on the campaign trail
[[link removed]]despite
the terrifying experience, this time with beefed-up security at his
disposal.
He was given a “pretty unprecedented level of police officers”
Saturday for his indoor event in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where the
presidential hopeful and his new running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance,
were welcomed by roughly 14,000 adoring supporters.
