The Washington Post is now running a story saying Secret Service security requests were repeatedly denied by top government officials.
The Washington Post - Top officials at the U.S. Secret Service repeatedly denied requests for additional resources and personnel sought by Donald Trump's security detail in the two years leading up to his attempted assassination at a rally in Pennsylvania last Saturday, according to four people familiar with the requests.
Agents charged with protecting the former president requested magnetometers and more agents to screen attendees at sporting events and other large public gatherings Trump attended, as well as additional snipers and specialty teams at other outdoor events, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive security discussions.
Those rejections - in response to requests that were several times made in writing - led to long-standing tensions that pitted Trump, his top aides and his security detail against Secret Service leadership, as Trump advisers privately fretted that the vaunted security agency was not doing enough to protect the former president.
After receiving detailed questions from The Washington Post, Guglielmi said the agency had learned new information indicating the agency's headquarters may have in fact denied some requests for additional security from Trump's detail and was reviewing documentation to understand the specific interactions better.
Keep in mind this is coming from the Washington Post, so that means someone inside government gave WaPo documentary evidence of denied security requests.
Did Joe Biden know his administration was denying security requests, if so.
