Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri relayed these claims in a public letter to Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday outlining a series of security failures at Trump's fateful Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.

'This is especially concerning given that HSI agents were unfamiliar with standard protocols typically used at these types of events, according to the allegations.
