Whistleblower tells Sen. Josh Hawley that Secret Service is attempting to conceal lapses in Trump protection

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has sent letters to the United States Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security, informing them of new allegations by a whistleblower who claimed that the Secret Service deliberately restricted access for auditors to certain events hosted by former President Donald Trump.

The inability of auditors to review how Secret Service agents were working to protect major presidential candidates – let alone one who was a former president himself – may have prevented the agency from fixing cracks in Trump’s security detail, like the one that led to the assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Hawley expressed in his letters addressed to Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe and DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari his serious concerns about the allegations.

“You have publicly stated that former President Trump is receiving ‘the highest level of Secret Service protection’ and that ‘he’s getting everything.’ This new whistleblower information troublingly contradicts your public statements,” Hawley wrote in his letter to Rowe.

Based on the whistleblower’s account, Secret Service headquarters allegedly prevented auditors from attending several Trump campaign events.

The intention, as implied by the whistleblower, was to conceal inconsistencies in the level of security given to Trump across different engagements.

“The Secret Service whistleblower alleges that the denial was in order to hide the fact that the former president is not receiving a consistent level of protective assets for all of his engagements,” Hawley wrote in a letter to Cuffari, stressing the need for transparency and oversight.

The Secret Service has not yet offered a reply to these allegations.

The accusations come in the wake of the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump during a Republican Party presidential campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania.

In that incident, a 20-year-old gunman named Thomas Crooks managed to shoot Trump in the ear, narrowly missing a fatal shot.

The shooting left one rallygoer, Corey Comperatore, dead and critically injured two other people, James Copenhaver and David Dutch.

Since the Butler incident, Hawley has been collecting whistleblower accounts and investigating probable shortcomings in the Secret Service’s handling of security for Trump.

After the attack, Hawley issued a report describing a “compounding pattern of negligence, sloppiness, and gross incompetence” that he claims goes back years and ended in the life-threatening incident in July. (Related: Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) releases whistleblower report on first assassination attempt on Trump in Butler: HAVE A LOOK.)

Hawley’s concerns have resulted in legislative action, with the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee recently approving his bill which orders the DHS to release all appropriate information regarding both the July 13 assassination attempt and an ensuing incident on Sept. 15.

Secret Service had “troubleshooting” problems during Trump’s Butler rally

The Senate Homeland Security Committee last month issued a bipartisan report on its findings after investigating the initial incident.

The report showed that the agent responsible for managing the Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) drones called a toll free 888 tech support hotline “to start troubleshooting with the company” and there were no backups.

It took many hours to get the drones working with the agent responsible for the drone operations only having three months of experience with the equipment.

The whistleblower’s revelations increase pressure on the Secret Service to deal with questions about the competence of its protection for Trump, particularly in the intensified atmosphere of the 2024 presidential campaign.

“You should be aware of these allegations, which indicate that the Secret Service is not in fact cooperating with your auditors and is instead painting a false picture,” Hawley said, highlighting the need for a complete investigation into the allegations.
