In a startling revelation, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) has raised concerns over a recent security breach that could have led to the assassination of former President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club.
The Senator's office has received whistleblower reports suggesting a significant lapse in Secret Service protocol, leaving the 45th president vulnerable during the attack.
According to Gateway Pundit, the whistleblowers' reports indicate that the Secret Service failed to station agents at known vulnerable spots on the golf course. This breach of protocol was discussed during an interview Hawley conducted with Jesse Watters on Fox News. The Senator expressed grave concern over the absence of agents in high-risk areas on the day Trump was targeted by 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, a known Trump critic.
Routh, armed with a rifle, managed to infiltrate the golf course's perimeter before being apprehended by Secret Service agents. The federal criminal complaint filed last week reveals that Routh began his ominous operation early Sunday morning, positioning himself near the golf course for nearly 12 hours before the assassination attempt.
Senator Hawley shed light on the fact that the golf course, a location frequently visited by Trump, is usually under the watchful eye of the Secret Service. Agents are typically stationed at specific locations known for their vulnerability. However, during this incident, whistleblowers claim that these high-risk areas were left unsecured.
"That golf course the President was playing, the Secret Service has guarded that course many, many times," Hawley stated. He further emphasized the whistleblowers' claims, saying, "They normally station agents there ahead of Trumps appearance on the course, but they apparently did not do that this last weekend. The whistleblowers tell me thats strange. Thats out of protocol. Its not even clear the Secret Service swept the perimeter before Trump took to the course, which is also a breach of protocol. They want to know why, and so do I. I think the Secret Service deserves to give us answers.
This alarming revelation comes on the heels of another assassination attempt on Trump two months ago in Butler, Pennsylvania. The former president narrowly escaped an attack plotted by a Democrat donor, Thomas Crooks.
Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), a former Navy Seal, has suggested the possibility of a mole within the Secret Service deliberately endangering President Trump. In an interview on the Benny Johnson show, Crane recommended that Trump hire his own security to cover the gaps left open by the agency.
The incident at the golf club, which was not on Trump's public schedule, has raised further concerns about how an individual was able to time an attack during Trump's unscheduled presence at the club. The question remains: how was such a security lapse allowed to occur, and what measures will be taken to prevent future breaches? The American public, and indeed the former President, deserve answers.
