The scandal regarding the attempt on former President Trump’s life continues to grow despite the corporate media’s desperate attempts to make the story disappear. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) warned that the American public would be ‘shocked, astonished, and appalled’ by the level of incompetence and failure within the Secret Service surrounding the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. Trump almost got killed during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by an armed Democrat donor named Thomas Crooks. The would-be assassin infiltrated the rally, climbed onto rooftops, and fired off multiple shots thanks to...

Now Homeland Security is telling the Secret Service to cover the whole thing up.

The more information that leaks out regarding the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the worse it looks for the Secret Service. Senator Josh Hawley on Friday obtained more damning information from a Secret Service whistleblower that the agency headquarters specifically ordered agents not to request any additional manpower for the event because such requests would be denied on the spot. It’s almost as if the Secret Service senior staffers wanted President Trump dead and buried. How can he place any trust in the agency going forward? Below is the entire letter from Hawley containing the full details of the betrayal:

Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and others in top agency leadership positions wanted to destroy the cocaine discovered in the White House last summer, but the Secret Service Forensics Services Division and the Uniformed Division stood firm and rejected the push to dispose of the evidence, according to three sources in the Secret Service community. Multiple heated confrontations and disagreements over how best to handle the cocaine ensued after a Secret Services Uniformed Division officer found the bag on July 2, 2023, a quiet Sunday while President Biden and his family were at Camp David in Maryland, the sources...

Pennsylvania’s top police officer faced intense questioning from lawmakers regarding the communication breakdown between the U.S. Secret Service and state and local law enforcement during the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The tragic incident left one rally attendee dead and two others injured.

VIDEOHow very very convenient. The DEI Director of the Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle stated during her questioning by a Congressional Committee that the Secret Service has NO radio communication recordings from the day of the assassination attempt upon President Trump on July 13. Remember that Cheatle was appointed as Secret Service Director right in the middle of the scandal in which it was discovered that the Secret Service deleted all their J6 text messages. Yes, a J6 coverup which under Cheatle has now become a J13 coverup. Apparently the leadership of the Secret Service has become as CORRUPT as the...

On Monday, Cheatle was asked about the security agency’s records-keeping practices by Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C. “Does the Secret Service routinely record communications between and amongst detail?” Fry said. “Radio communications?” Cheatle clarified. “Any communication,” Fry said. “Email communications are captured as well as text messages.

Secret Service officials repeatedly rejected Donald Trump’s request for additional security in the two years before last weekend’s assassination attempt, The Post has learned. The ex-president, 78, asked for more agents and magnetometers at large public events he attended, as well as extra snipers for outdoor venues, four insiders told The Washington Post, which first reported the damning revelation. Each request was shot down by senior officials who claimed the agency lacked the resources Trump was asking for, the outlet reported. Trump was receiving a LESSER level of protection afforded to former presidents and major party presidential candidates when 20-year-old...

U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle: “That building in particular has a sloped roof, at its highest point. And so, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof.”

The U.S. Secret Service said Wednesday that it stood by its female agents and was appalled by some of the criticism they’ve received on conservative social media since Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The Secret Service, in a statement to NBC News, said that the criticism from pundits and influencers was baseless. The agency also stood by its commitment to diversity in recruiting as helping, not hurting, the effectiveness of its protective teams. The statement follows a multiday campaign of derision by some conservatives who accused Kimberly Cheatle, the Secret Service director, of being unqualified and who...

Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle was shielded by her own officers after furious US senators pursued her down the corridors of the RNC, demanding she explain how a gunman was able to get a clear shot at Donald Trump. Cheatle was in the Milwaukee convention hall to oversee security arrangements on Wednesday evening - just hours after making a 'cover-your-a** call' to senators about the shooting in Pennsylvania on Saturday night.

I have no confidence in the leadership of Director Cheatle and believe it is in the best interest of our nation if she steps down from her position.

Ahead of former President Trump’s rally on Saturday, local police informed the Secret Service that they didn’t have the manpower to station a patrol car outside the building a gunman later climbed to shoot at the presidential candidate, The Washington Post reported. District Attorney Richard Goldinger of Butler County, Pa., the town where the Trump rally took place, said the Secret Service “was informed that the local police department did not have manpower to assist with securing that building.” The Post had Goldinger’s account confirmed by a Secret Service official familiar with the incident. The Secret Service official told the...

A U.S. Secret Service official said a Pennsylvania police SWAT team was in another building than the one whose roof was used Saturday by Thomas Crooks to shoot at former President Donald Trump. The new account contradicts a prior claim by Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle that Crooks was on top of the building containing the SWAT team near Trump's campaign rally in Butler. The disclosure follows news that the Secret Service had increased security for Trump after being told of a plot by Iran to kill him. A U.S. Secret Service official on Wednesday said that a local Pennsylvania...
