During a recent Fox News appearance, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley shared new whistleblower information regarding the Donald Trump assassination attempt in Butler, PA. According to Hawley, many of the agents guarding Trump were Homeland Security agents and not specifically Secret Service agents.
The Homeland Security agents were prepped by watching a two-hour webinar online — and the sound was broken.
“A two-hour, online webinar. And I’m told that half the time, the sounds to the webinar didn’t even work,” Hawley told Fox News’ Jesse Watters.
“So think about this: The former president of the US … is sent out on stage, most of the people there are not trained, they’re not qualified. They only got a webinar training and even that didn’t work,” Hawley continued.
“It is absolutely outrageous.”
“Imagine 1,000 people logging onto Microsoft Teams at the same time after being informed at the last minute that everyone needed to login individually,” one whistleblower told Hawley. “Once it got rolling, the Secret Service instructor couldn’t figure out how to get the audio working on the prerecorded videos [which I’m told are the same videos as last year]. All told, they restarted the videos approximately six times …. The content was not helpful.”
“Nothing new, nothing improved since the assassination attempt on former President Trump,” one whistleblower told Hawley.

From The New York Post:
The Homeland Security agents were supposedly pulled off child exploitation cases and other investigations in order to serve on Trump’s protective detail — which was something they did not normally do, Hawley added.
Hawley also called out the Secret Service and FBI for not sharing more information about the rally, where Trump narrowly avoided an assassination attempt by shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks.
“The only reason we have this information is because of whistleblowers,” he told Watters.
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) recently revealed that a Butler SWAT team actually got off the first shots that damaged Crooks’ rifle and halted the shooting spree before the Secret Service finally jumped into action.
Hawley sent a letter to Secret Service Director Rowe detailing the whistleblower allegations.
