Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Tasked with protecting federal officials, particularly providing security for politicians and candidates for office, the agency was caught on the back foot Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a shooter scaled a building hundreds of feet away from a stage where Trump was standing. Everything from the agency’s protocols in setting up a perimeter to how agents responded to the shooter is now under strict scrutiny.
“Theres an untrue assertion that a member of the former President’s team requested additional security resources & that those were rebuffed,” Guglielmi wrote on X. “This is absolutely false. In fact, we added protective resources & technology & capabilities as part of the increased campaign travel tempo.”
“We need to know how an individual could be at that elevation that was seen by, apparently, bystanders on the ground,” Johnson said. “How could not that not be noticed by Secret Service? Lots more questions than answers this morning.” As questions swirled about how effective Saturday’s security was, Cheatle was also being pressed to make sure future failures don’t result in a worse outcome.
