The U.S. Secret Service’s first press conference since the assassination attempt on former President Trump has sparked controversy and calls for action. Fox News host Jesse Watters has suggested that the entire Pittsburgh field office should be put on administrative leave in light of shocking revelations about the lack of Secret Service protection for Trump.
During the press conference, Director Ronald Rowe admitted that Trump was not provided with Secret Service counter-sniper teams at his campaign rallies for the last two years. This means that Trump was vulnerable to potential threats during public appearances, including when he was in highly populated areas with numerous buildings and windows.
Following the assassination attempt on Trump, questions have been raised about the effectiveness of the Secret Service’s protection detail. Veteran Secret Service agents have called for leadership to be fired, labeling them as the ‘kings of cover-up’.
Watters has criticized the lack of communication and coordination within the Secret Service, pointing out that the agents who swarmed Trump after the shooting were not even part of his regular detail. He has called for a formal investigation into the Pittsburgh field office and for all agents involved in the Butler rally security to be placed on administrative leave.
The article highlights the importance of the upcoming election, with Trump promising to declassify information about the assassination attempt if he is re-elected. The investigation into the incident may be impacted depending on the outcome of the election.
The revelations from the press conference have raised serious concerns about the security protocols in place for high-profile individuals like former presidents. The call for accountability and transparency within the Secret Service is growing louder as more details about the incident come to light.
