Ex-Secret Service Agent Goes Scorched Earth on Agency Over Trump Assassination Attempt

 The Secret Service is facing mounting pressure to explain how a 20-year-old would-be assassin climbed on top of a roof and fired shots at former President Donald Trump without authorities noticing.

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino is demanding answers from the agency, revealing troubling details about the breach of security that left Trump injured.

Bongino, who spent 12 years working in the Secret Service under President George W. Bush and President Obama, pointed out obvious mistakes that could have changed the trajectory of the country forever.

Security personnel close to former President Trump reached out to me long before the assassination attempt to tell me Trump's security team had repeatedly requested a larger security footprint, but they were repeatedly rebuffed.

Bongino accused Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle of aiming for 30 percent of the agency to be women by 2030.

The third issue is the "Politicization of an agency that necessitates, arguably above all others, political neutrality." A would-be assassin nearly killed President Trump, did murder an innocent MAGA supporter, and critically injured two other rallygoers.

A new HarrisX/Forbes survey found that more than half of respondents believe the Secret Service is at fault for the would-be assassin of Trump and should be investigated.
