TRUMP Put at RISK by STAFF SHORTAGES Due to NATO Summit and Jill Biden Event

House Judiciary CHAIRMAN Questions SECURITY FAILINGS

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan is sending a letter Thursday to Federal Bureau Of Investigations (FBI) Director Christopher Wray demanding answers to several questions related to the security failings that led to the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump after hearing from several United States Secret Service (USSS) whistleblowers.

The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the letter to Wray in which Jordan mentions that USSS whistleblowers are telling the committee that there were limited resources to cover Trump due to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Washington, D.C., and First Lady Jill Biden’s campaign rally in Pittsburgh, PA.

“Whistleblowers have disclosed to the Committee that the USSS led two briefings regarding the July 13 campaign rally on July 8, 2024, with the Western Pennsylvania Fusion Center (WPFC) and other stakeholders, to discuss the upcoming, unrelated visits by President Trump and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden. The USSS Special Agent in Charge Tim Burke reportedly told law enforcement partners that the USSS had limited resources that week because the agency was covering the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Washington, D.C. FBI personnel were present at those briefings. While the Committee recognizes that the FBI is one of many agencies represented in the WPFC, it is the lead federal investigative arm and a key source of intelligence on potential threats for special events in its area of responsibility,” Jordan writes in the letter.

 

“The Committee has several unanswered questions about the failures that led to the attempted assassination of a president—the first in over forty years—as well as the FBI’s ability to conduct a rapid, transparent, and thorough investigation in the wake of its recent scandals. Accordingly, to ensure that the Committee can effectively evaluate these matters during your testimony on July 24, 2024,” he added.

Here’s What Jordan Calls For In The Letter:

 

How many agents, analysts, and support personnel has the FBI dedicated to the investigation?

Was there coordination between the FBI, USSS, and the WPFC before President Trump’s event on July 13?

How many buildings had to be secured inside and outside of the security perimeter for President Trump’s event on July 13?

Why was the roof of the AGR International building left unsecured?

How much time elapsed between identifying the shooter as a potential threat and the attempted assassination?

How much time elapsed between the local police officer encountering the shooter on the sloped roof and the attempted assassination?

Has the FBI interviewed the local police officer who encountered the shooter?

 

Jordan calls on Wray to provide the material, “in its entirety and without redactions,” as soon as possible but no later than 5:00 p.m. on July 23.
