‘The American people deserve answers about your historic failure’
By Joe Kovacs
The United States Secret Service refused an offer to use drones from local law enforcement in Butler, Pennsylvania, at former President Donald Trump’s campaign rally July 13, according to a whistleblower.
U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., shared a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas with the allegation on Thursday.
He noted the FBI probe of the scene included evidence Trump’s shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, used his own drone to survey the rally site just two hours before Trump took the stage. “This raises the obvious question: why was the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) not using its own drones?” Hawley asked.
