Donald's staff Trump has called for additional security measures over the past two years. which preceded Butler's march in which the former president was injured in an attack. But the Secret Service systematically rejected the requests.The Washington Post cites information provided by four sources familiar with the matter. Agents hired to protect Trump repeatedly requested additional resources and urged the use of more men to ensure the former president’s safety at public events. The requests were denied and the responses were justified by the lack of resources and men available to the agency.
The Washington Post article changes the picture presented last week: The Secret Service, also in press releases, denied refusing requests for increased security for Trump. The newspaper specifies that there are no explicit references to requests for last Saturday’s rally, which took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. However, in the summer of 2023, agents assigned to the former president requested additional resources to organize a rally in Pickens: they asked, in particular, for snipers. In these circumstances, local law enforcement officers would have been called in.
