A whistleblower claims that the Trump campaign was “effectively forced” to “cancel” an event in Wisconsin due to the Secret Service not having “sufficient assets to secure” the rally.
In a letter addressed to Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) questioned “recent public statements” made by Rowe regarding the level of protection Trump was receiving from the agency in light of the whistleblower allegations.
Hawley went on to question whether the Secret Service ever informed former President Donald Trump, “his campaign, or any related business entities” that the agency was unable to “secure a rally” held in Wisconsin and questioned whether President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris had been told the Secret Service was unable to “secure a campaign event” for them.
“I write concerning new whistleblower allegations that the U.S. Secret Service effectively forced the Trump campaign to cancel an upcoming event in Wisconsin,” Hawley wrote. “This new information calls into question your recent public statements regarding the level of security your agency is providing to the former president. It also suggests that the Secret Service’s inability to fully protect former President Trump may be affecting the conduct of the presidential campaign.”
Hawley pointed out that during a press conference on September 20, Rowe had claimed that Trump was getting “the highest level of Secret Service protection”:
At your recent press conference on September 20, you stated that former President Trump is receiving “the highest level of Secret Service protection” and “he’s getting everything” that “the current president has with respect to Secret Service assets.” That same night, Secret Service secured a rally for Vice President Harris in Madison, Wisconsin.
Hawley added that despite these claims, the whistleblower alleged that the Trump campaign had been informed by the Secret Service that the agency “did not have sufficient assets to secure a potential campaign rally in Wisconsin” for Donald Trump.
“Other whistleblowers with knowledge of Secret Service planning protocols allege that failure to provide protection for a major public event is highly unusual and that a sitting president would never be denied resources in this way,” Hawley continued.
The letter from Hawley comes as the United States Senate unanimously passed a bill to strengthen Secret Service protection for presidential candidates, a week after a second assassination attempt on Trump.

If SS has not the personnel to add to anyone's detail, it appears they are in need of the coming "Gov. Efficiency task force" headed by Elon.
It spicey! Let see if it leads anywhere…
Trump ought to plan MULTIPLE rallies at the same time.
If Trump has venues set up large projection screens, good sound systems and have LOCAL Republican leaders in to speak, Trump can appear live on projection screen to talk to the audiences at several venues at once.
All they need to do is set up a camera so Trump can see and hear the crowd... and he can respond to them from wherever he is broadcasting. The local Republican politicians can handle the rest of the rally.
People will show up for that by the tens of thousands... and there is no real need for SS "protection".
...can he not have SS and private security? That's an actual question.
I can see a legitimate reason for this, but I'd like secret service to explain it. The reason I see, is that Kablahblah's rally with have an attendance of 12 and Trump's rally will have 12,000.
Time for bikers ans ex Navy Seals. By the 100's at every rally. Once elected bring in Bongino to clean house at the SS. He can turn it back into the Secret Service.
