Secret Service Opted Out of Drone Surveillance Before Trump Assassination Attempt – US Senator
The probe into the attempted assassination of Donald Trump has uncovered new details of the botched security operation at the Pennsylvania rally.
Republican Senator Josh Hawley has submitted a letter to the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with shocking details that the
Secret Service – responsible for ensuring the safety of the former president’s life – “
repeatedly” turned down offers by local police to carry out drone
surveillance of the area.
“The night before the rally, US Secret Service repeatedly denied offers from a local law enforcement partner to utilize drone technology to secure the rally,” the senator wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, citing information from a whistleblower.
The whistleblower also alleged that it was not until after the
deadly shootout that the Secret Service went on to use drones to record the area, Hawley noted.
Hawley had previously
quoted the whistleblower and spoken out against the officer who left the very spot from which the assassin targeted Trump. The officer allegedly left the roof of the warehouse because it was “
too hot.”
“It is hard to understand why [the Secret Service] would decline to use drones when they were offered, particularly given the fact USSS [US Secret Service] permitted the shooter to overfly the rally area with his own drone mere hours before [the] event,” the Republican senator elaborated further.
Hawley also went on to mention that the whistleblower believes that using drones would have helped neutralize the sniper.
The shooting took place on July 13 at a Trump rally in Butler, the US state of Pennsylvania. Trump sustained a gun wound to his right ear and was briefly hospitalized. Thomas Crooks, 20, killed a member of the audience and injured two others in the crowd before the Secret Service neutralized him.
The
FBI is investigating the incident as an assassination attempt and potential domestic terrorism.
