Sen. Josh Hawley on Thursday revealed in a letter a whistleblower told him the U.S. Secret Service turned down offers from a local law enforcement partner to utilize drone technology to secure the July 13 rally where a shooter attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
According to one whistleblower, the night before the rally, U.S. Secret Service repeatedly denied offers from a local law enforcement partner to utilize drone technology to secure the rally. This means that the technology was both available to USSS and able to be deployed to secure the site. Secret Service said no.
Despite Secret Service allegedly turning down the use of drone technology, the shooter used a drone to surveil the area just hours before Trump took the stage, FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed Wednesday during testimony to the House Judiciary Committee. It is hard to understand why USSS would decline to use drones when they were offered, particularly given the fact USSS permitted the shooter to overfly the rally area with his own drone mere hours before event. The failure to deploy drone technology is all the more concerning since, according to the whistleblower, the drones USSS was offered had the capability not only to identify active shooters but also to help neutralize them.
