Secret Service Was Told Local Police Lacked Manpower to Secure Building Used by Trump Shooter

A Butler County official said on Wednesday that local authorities had informed the U.S. Secret Service that local police lacked the manpower to help secure the building used by the shooter who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump last weekend.

The Secret Service "Was informed that the local police department did not have manpower to assist with securing that building," Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger told The Washington Post, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi confirmed this account to the outlet and provided additional details.

His bullets grazed the Republican presidential candidate's ear, killed one rallygoer, and injured two more before Secret Service agents killed Mr. Crooks in a swift response.

Ler County provided four sniper teams, four fast-response teams, and officers to help the Secret Service at the July 13 rally.

Ler County Sheriff Michael Slupe told Reuters that an officer was hoisted to the roof by his partner, but dropped back down when the shooter aimed his rifle at the officer, who was gripping the edge of the roof and could not access his service weapon under the circumstances.

Secret Service 'Solely Responsible' for Overall Security Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said the Secret Service decided to keep officers off the sloped roof because the incline presented a safety issue.

"Secret Service respects local law enforcement, and we could not do our job, either investigatively or on our protective mission, without them," she said.

Federal Probes Federal authorities have launched multiple investigations into the Secret Service security failure-which has been deemed the most serious since the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan.

On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General announced an investigation into the Secret Service's security efforts and counter-sniper team to assess their threat preparation and response.

"Americans demand accountability and transparency regarding the Secret Service's failures that led to the attempted assassination of President Trump. However, President Biden's Department of Homeland Security has not provided this," Mr. Comer said in a statement.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
