Secret Service whistleblower makes damning claim about the lead agent during Trump's assassination attempt - Daily Mail

A whistleblower is claiming that the lead Secret Service agent in charge of Donald Trump's deadly Butler, Pennsylvania, rally was 'inexperienced' and 'failed to implement appropriate security protocols.'

The complaint comes weeks after 20-year-old murderer Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump from a 'perfect location' in relatively close range to the former president as he spoke at the July 13 campaign rally.

Crooks hit Trump, injuring him and two others, along with fatally wounding firefighter Corey Comperatore.

The shocking new testimony comes from a whistleblower with direct knowledge of the event, according to a letter provided to DailyMail.com from the office of Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.

Concerned over this lead agent, who is 'still doing protective visits,' Hawley is now demanding in a letter to Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe that the 'ineffective' lead site agent be suspended and investigated immediately.
