A Secret Service whistleblower has just dropped explosive new allegations to expose a major cover-up at the federal agency regarding the events surrounding the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.
Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe testified that the agency didn’t cut resources from Trump’s security detail.
However, a whistleblower has now alleged that Rowe “personally directed” agents to be cut from Trump’s protection.
If true, the whistleblower’s allegations mean Rowe lied before Congress.
The whistleblower reportedly provided the information to Republican Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO).
According to the evidence provided to Hawley, Rowe “directed that Secret Service agents who do threat assessments at events be cut.”
Fox News anchor Jesse Watters responded to the allegations by arguing that it proves the Secret Service is involved in a cover-up of the attempt on Trump’s life.
“The whistleblower says those agents should have been at Trump’s Butler rally doing threat assessments, and they were cut by that Secret Service director, Ronald Rowe,” reported Watters.
“Some of these Secret Service threat assessment agents had been warning about security problems for months leading up to the Butler rally but were ignored. Why?
“If those agents were at the Butler rally, [Thomas] Crooks would have been in cuffs the second he was spotted with the rangefinder.”
WATCH:
Meanwhile, the FBI claims it still hasn’t established what motivated gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks in his failed assassination attempt against Trump.
More than two weeks after the fatal shooting, the FBI doesn’t even know how the attacker got his gun up on the roof.
FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate told Congress this week that the gunman lifted himself on the roof at 6:06 p.m., minutes before opening fire at 6:11 p.m.
When asked how the gun got on the roof, Abbate said the shooter may have kept it in a backpack.
However, he admitted that the FBI isn’t sure.
Abbate said the FBI has examined the gun and it would have been visible if placed in the backpack.
“It’s possible that he broke the rifle down, although we don’t have conclusive evidence of that, and took it out of the bag on the roof in those moments before and reassembled it there, that’s one of the theories we’re looking at and working on right now,” Abbate said.
