**Investigations Uncover Alarming Security Lapses in Protection of Trump**
In a shocking revelation, recent investigations have highlighted serious flaws in the security measures surrounding former President Donald Trump, especially in the wake of two assassination attempts against him.
The scrutiny intensified as a Congressional task force prepared to hold its first hearing on September 26, focusing on the effectiveness of the Secret Service’s protective strategies and their coordination with local law enforcement.
This inquiry comes on the heels of a letter from Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) detailing allegations from whistleblowers within the Secret Service.
These whistleblowers have raised troubling concerns, claiming acting Director Rowe of the Secret Service cut the manpower of the counter-surveillance division by 20% without notifying Congress.
Despite this significant reduction in resources, the Secret Service reportedly failed to address prior warnings about potential security lapses before the first assassination attempt that occurred in July.
The situation raises critical questions about the agency's priorities and capabilities in protecting high-profile individuals.
Suspended Special Agent Garret O’Boyle, one of the whistleblowers, has risked everything to come forward.
He bravely spoke out against the agency's draconian COVID-19 protocols, exposing the internal pressure faced by agents who dared to voice their concerns.
Baker remarked on the worrisome nature of this government action, implying that if whistleblowers could be so easily targeted, it sets a dangerous precedent for all those employed in public service.
The ongoing media narrative has also drawn criticism, with research from the Media Research Center indicating that a staggering 95% of coverage from ABC, CBS, and NBC regarding Donald Trump was deemed negative following the assassination attempts.
This appears to further illustrate the lengths to which mainstream media is willing to go to slant coverage against the former president, even amid serious threats to his safety.
The growing consensus among those familiar with the situation is that the lack of adequate security measures ultimately stems from a combination of bureaucratic mismanagement and a media landscape that has openly aligned against Trump.
With the task force facing a mid-December deadline to issue its report, the time is critical to address these glaring problems and restore faith in the protections meant to safeguard public figures, especially those as polarizing as Trump.
The American public deserves transparent answers regarding the safety measures in place for their leaders and how these processes can be strengthened in a politically volatile environment.
