On Fox News’ “Jesse Watters prime time”, Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri revealed some shocking information. Whistleblowers said the Secret Service was “woefully unprepared” to defend candidates. They were taught via webinars on “Microsoft Teams”. The majority of police officers who were present at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally in July where Donald Trump was narrowly saved by a sniper bullet weren’t Secret Service agents. Instead, they were DHS agents.
Hawley was on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Tuesday night to discuss allegations made by whistleblowers that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents who were reassigned protective detail workers were only provided with a 2-hour Microsoft Teams webinar.
Whistleblowers said that the videos were pre-recorded, and contained many technical errors.
Hawley was told by a whistleblower that 1,000 people could log on to Microsoft Teams at once, despite being told only minutes before the event that they would have to do so individually. ”

🚨🚨 NEW Whistleblower tells me most of the agents at the Trump rally the day of the assassination attempt were Homeland Security NOT Secret Service — and the only training they received was a 2-hour online “webinar”! Outrageous pic.twitter.com/iwNwjN2lfZ

The Missouri Senator was not finished with his bad news. Sounds like the once-vaunted Secret Service simply isn’t up to par.
Hawley said, “This is an absolute nightmare.” We only know about this because of whistleblowers. ”
Hawley stated in a previous interview with “Jesse Watters Primetime” that the Trump campaign was aware that the site agent in question was inexperienced and ineffective. The whistleblower also told me that she didn’t follow normal security protocols on the day of the incident.
Hawley stated that she didn’t use Secret Service Agents. She added that “most agents present on that day were not Secret Service Agents. They were Homeland Security Agents.”
In a letter to Homeland Security which is on holiday all the time, he demanded answers.

The failures of the Secret Service in this case are very disturbing. We spend trillions of dollars on the “Inflation Reduction Act”, yet the Secret Service is treated like an unreliable brother.
I was a kid and watched “The F.B.I.,” “S.W.A.T.,” and “Dragnet.” I idolized the crime fighters. Later in life, I came to believe that the Secret Service was an elite agency even though it failed to stop Reagan’s would-be killer John Hinckley. They seem to have destroyed the Secret Service if Donald Trump is involved.
