A Secret Service whistleblower has come forward with bombshell details surrounding security vulnerabilities at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course after a would-be assassin set-up a sniper’s nest roughly 300 yards from the former president.
In a letter addressed to acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) revealed that a Secret Service whistleblower approached his office with troubling allegations surrounding the September 15 assassination attempt.
“A whistleblower with direct knowledge of Secret Service protection of former President Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach — an individual who has in fact protected President Trump at that very location — alleges that there are ‘known vulnerabilities’ in the fence line surrounding the course: places that offer a clear line of sight to the former president and others playing at the course,” Hawley wrote.
“As a result, the whistleblower alleges it has been Secret Service protocol to ‘post up’ agents at these vulnerable spots when Trump visits the course. That apparently did not happen on September 15,” the letter continued. “Instead, the gunman was permitted to remain along or near the fence line for some 12 hours.”
If the whistleblower’s allegations are verified, it would mean that suspected gunman Ryan Wesley Routh was outside the course for 12 hours despite the fact that Trump’s round of golf was not on his public schedule.
Hawley further noted that it remains unclear whether the perimeter of the course was swept by Secret Service agents at any point, nor is it clear whether drones were used to monitor the fence line. “The reality is that the would-be assassin should never have been able to linger around the course for that long undetected,” Hawley wrote.
The letter concluded with several questions on the whistleblower’s allegations, as well as additional questions about the agency’s response and set-up on September 15.
Senator Hawley joined Fox News host Jesse Watters to discuss the bombshell allegations at length on Wednesday evening.
“I want to emphasize, the service has guarded this course many times. They know where there are vulnerabilities. They normally station agents there ahead of Trump’s appearance on the course, but they apparently did not do that this last weekend. And the whistleblowers tell me, that’s strange, that’s out of protocol,” the senator said.
He went on to note that representatives from the Secret Service, FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, have yet to provide lawmakers with several relevant documents concerning the July 13 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“Do you know that the Secret Service still has not given congressional investigators the documents and evidence we have been asking for for two months? Two months since Trump was shot in the face, now he has been shot at, or nearly so, again, and still Secret Service is stonewalling right down to this hour. I mean, what is going on here? They need to level with us, they need to level with the American people, and they need to tell us what in the world is happening, ” Hawley added.
Federal prosecutors are charging Routh — who traveled to Ukraine in 2022 and met with several members of the U.S. House of Representatives — with federal firearms offenses. Prosecutors have balked at the prospect of attempted murder charges, however, pointing to the fact that Routh did not ultimately fire his weapon.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has vowed to bring additional state charges against Routh and conduct a thorough state investigation independent of the federal government. “Today, I’m signing an executive order assigning the case involving the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump to the office of statewide prosecutor, under the supervision of Attorney General Ashley Moody,” DeSantis announced Tuesday.
If ANYTHING happens to Trump, (before or after the election), I can guarantee you those now in this current ILLEGITIMATE (shadow government) of an ‘Administration’ will be found and killed. It may take a while to get them all – but they will ALL die.
The secret service is acting exactly the same way as the current administration. Simply stonewalling the citizens with horse hockey to remain concealed and not accountable for their lame actions.
How long does it take for people to recognize that the SS and this administration of thieves is organizing this assassination attempts. Biden put the cross hair on Mr. Trump and we are witnessing the chain of events put in motion by this great uniter. This administration is nothing else than a big lie. Every time when they say THERE IS NO PLACE OF VIOLENCE IN AMERICAN POLITICS THEY ARE ACTUALLY EXPRESS THEIR FRUSTRATION THAT THE ATTEMP DID NOT SUCCEDE. Nevertheless, the pigs will try again and again. They have said it very clearly. WE WILL DO EVRYTHING POSSIBLE TO STOP TRUMP TO GET THE WHITE HOUSE and looks like they are keeping this promise
Obama put all these bastards in the agencies
I feel sorry for the whistle blower as his days are numbered now. He will be suicided soon….car wreck, a fall, heart attack or some other such Clinton trick. You do not blow the whistle on any of the establishment communists.
