“Liar”: Secret Service Busted, “Repeatedly” Denied Trump Security Requests<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Secret Service has been caught in a lie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday, one day after the Trump assassination attempt, Secret Service spox Anthony Guglielmi insisted that it was an “untrue assertion” that Trump’s campaign was denied additional security resources, calling it “absolutely false.”<\/p>\n

“In fact, we added protective resources & technology & capabilities as part of the increased campaign travel tempo,” he continued in a post on X.<\/p>\n

Theres an untrue assertion that a member of the former President\u2019s team requested additional security resources & that those were rebuffed. This is absolutely false. In fact, we added protective resources & technology & capabilities as part of the increased campaign travel tempo<\/p>\n

Guglielmi doubled down three hours later, telling RealClearPolitics<\/em>‘ White House correspondent Susan Crabtree that her report on diverted resources was “very wrong.<\/a>“<\/p>\n

What’s more, “Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who has been under pressure to resign over security lapses at the rally, repeated that denial in a meeting with Trump campaign leadership<\/strong> in Wisconsin on Monday,” according to the Washington Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to Saturday, and the Washington Post<\/em> <\/a>reveals that they lied<\/em>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Suspected. Now proven. More forthcoming<\/p>\n

According to the new report, “Top officials at the U.S. Secret Service repeatedly denied requests<\/strong> for additional resources and personnel sought by Donald Trump\u2019s security detail in the two years leading up to his attempted assassination at a rally in Pennsylvania last Saturday, according to four people familiar with the requests.”<\/p>\n

Agents charged with protecting the former president requested magnetometers and more agents <\/strong>to screen attendees at sporting events and other large public gatherings Trump attended, as well as additional snipers and specialty teams at other outdoor events<\/strong>, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive security discussions. The requests, which have not been previously reported, were sometimes denied by senior officials at the agency, <\/strong>who cited various reasons, including a lack of resources<\/strong> at an agency that has long struggled with staffing shortages, they said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Those rejections<\/strong> \u2014 in response to requests that were several times made in writing \u2014 led to long-standing tensions that pitted Trump, his top aides and his security detail against Secret Service leadership,<\/strong> as Trump advisers privately fretted that the vaunted security agency was not doing enough to protect the former president.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Secret Service, after initially denying turning down requests for additional security, is now acknowledging some may have been rejected. <\/strong>The revelation comes as agency veterans say the organization has been forced to make difficult decisions amid competing demands, a growing list of protectees and limited funding. -WaPo<\/em><\/p>\n

After WaPo<\/em> confronted\u00a0Guglielmi, he said that the agency ‘had learned new information <\/strong>indicating the agency\u2019s headquarters may have in fact denied some requests for additional security from Trump\u2019s detail,” something he should have probably checked before be lied<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Secret Service tried to block a Trump team request for metal detectors at his son Barron’s high school graduation, <\/strong>according to the NY Times<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the WaPo <\/em>report, a Secret Service official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that the agency has finite resources, and has to juggle competing demands<\/strong> – particularly for countersnipers, counterassault teams, and teams of uniformed division officers.<\/p>\n

So – it appears they gave Trump the Temu team because they were spread too thin.<\/p>\n

The Left attacked @dbongino<\/a> for telling us in real time that the Secret Service spokesman was lying.<\/p>\n

Butler Township calls BS<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to the Secret Service trying to pin the blame on local PD, Butler Township commissioner Edward Natali said that the Butler Township Pollice Department had no security responsibility at the event<\/strong> – and that there were just seven officers, all assigned to traffic detail.<\/p>\n

My god \u2026.<\/p>\n

With law enforcement focused elsewhere, a would-be assassin roamed freely outside the perimeter. The only officers who got close to him were ones who left their designated posts to do so.<\/p>\n

Their job had been to direct traffic<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Pennsylvania congressman Brendan Boyle (D)<\/strong> called on Kimberly Cheatle to resign in light of the WaPo<\/em> report.<\/p>\n

Director Cheatle must resign immediately.<\/p>\n

As The Conservative Treehouse<\/a><\/em> points out, the silence here is deafening…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The biggest question inside the investigation of the Trump assassination attempt, is the thing no one has mentioned.\u00a0 Why have there been no daily press briefings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where are the official 10:00am press briefing updates every day on the investigation?
\nWhere are the official press conferences from the Secret Service, FBI and law enforcement answering questions and providing information from the prior days investigative results?
\nWhere are the organized and official updates to let the American people know what has been found out about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump?<\/p>\n

Continued…<\/em><\/p>\n

The absence of official press briefings has been the dog that didn\u2019t bark.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead, the Secret Service, FBI and Law Enforcement have been selectively leaking details, testing what would be and would not be accepted, and we have only seen controlled snippets of information.<\/p>\n

Much of the information within those leaks has been lies, sometimes absurd in their construct, pushed through a generally incurious media.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smart people have noted the absence of the official public information process indicates something very sketchy in the background.<\/strong> [ie. the dog that didn\u2019t bark]<\/p>\n

The attempted assassination of President Trump is a big deal; perhaps one of the biggest events in recent history. There is massive public interest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If ordinary procedures and protocols were being followed, we would have official daily updates at scheduled press conferences, and the media would be able to present questions based on presented information.\u00a0\u00a0The absence of these press briefings told us something that is not good.\u00a0 But perhaps today, we find out why.<\/p>\n

And what’s this now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police thought the man was Secret Service, but he wasn\u2019t<\/p>\n
