Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., revealed whistleblower information about last month’s assassination attempt against former President Trump last month at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally.
The senator told Fox News host Jesse Watters about the latest revelations from whistleblowers indicating that the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) lead site agent at the rally on July 13 was inexperienced and “incompetent.” He also noted that agents are reportedly “scared to death” about another attempt on Trump’s life.
“The site agent, the lead agent, was known to the Trump campaign to be inexperienced, to be ineffectual, to be, frankly, incompetent at their job,” Hawley said on “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Monday. “I’m also told by whistleblowers that on that day, she was not enforcing the normal security protocols.”
“She was not checking people’s IDs. She did not use Secret Service agents,” Hawley continued. “Most of the agents there that day were not Secret Service agents. They were Homeland Security agents.”
Thank you to the many brave whistleblowers who have come forward to give us the truth on what happened at the Butler rally. Please contact my office if you have more information

🚨🚨 NEW – Whistleblowers tell me the lead site agent in charge of the Butler rally was known to be inexperienced, ineffective and not up to the job – and on the day failed to implement basic security protocols – yet this person is STILL on active duty. Why? 👇 pic.twitter.com/EhfUSCvnJ0
