Ever since the attempt on Trump’s life, people have been wondering what really happened. But the truth has shocked everyone.
Because Secret Service whistleblowers have revealed the horrifying truth regarding Trump’s assassination attempt.
In a horrifying new development, whistleblowers have revealed critical security lapses during the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
According to information provided to Senator Josh Hawley, law enforcement personnel who were supposed to be stationed on the roof of the American Glass Research Building 6, where gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire, abandoned their posts due to concerns over the heat.

Senator Josh Hawley, a staunch supporter of Trump and vocal critic of the current administration, addressed these concerns in a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
“Since my last correspondence to you on July 19, additional whistleblowers have contacted my office with troubling information about the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump,” Hawley’s letter began.
Hawley highlighted discrepancies between public statements and internal accounts. “Contrary to Director Cheatle’s public statements about the ‘safety’ of the sloped roof of American Glass Research Building 6, one whistleblower with direct knowledge of Secret Service planning for the event alleges that there was supposed to be a law enforcement presence on the roof that day,” he wrote.
The whistleblower’s allegations are particularly disturbing. They claim that law enforcement personnel assigned to the roof for the duration of the rally abandoned their post because of the hot weather.
“The whistleblower further alleges that concerns over the heat prompted law enforcement to forego patrolling Building 6 and instead to station security inside the building,” Hawley noted.
This lapse in security is not just a minor oversight; it represents a significant failure in protecting a former president, highlighting possible negligence or mismanagement within the security apparatus.
Senator Hawley’s letter demanded immediate answers from Secretary Mayorkas. He requested a detailed account of when and if the personnel left their posts, which units were assigned to the roof, and whether any personnel failed to report to their assigned stations that day.
Additionally, Hawley referenced a forthcoming DHS report on the security provided for the July 13 rally and insisted on receiving a copy.
“I have heard from a DHS official that ‘Homeland Security Investigations has nearly completed a report on its personnel’s involvement in providing security for the July 13 rally. Please furnish a copy of this report to my office immediately,” Hawley wrote.
This revelation raises serious questions about the protocols and preparedness of the agencies responsible for the security of high-profile political figures. The decision to abandon the roof due to heat concerns indicates a lack of contingency planning and resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
The failure to maintain a secure perimeter on the roof, a critical vantage point, could have had disastrous consequences. It also suggests a broader issue within the law enforcement community regarding the prioritization of duties and the handling of extreme conditions during crucial events.
The Republican response has been swift and critical. Many see this as yet another example of the Biden administration’s inability to ensure the safety and security of key political figures. The incident has sparked a broader debate about the current state of national security and the effectiveness of the leadership in protecting its citizens and former leaders.
Former President Trump, a frequent critic of the current administration, has yet to publicly comment on these revelations. However, his supporters have already taken to social media to express their outrage and demand accountability from the officials involved.
The whistleblower revelations about the abandonment of rooftop security during the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump are deeply troubling. They underscore significant lapses in security protocols and raise questions about the preparedness and priorities of the law enforcement agencies tasked with protecting our nation’s leaders.
Senator Hawley’s demands for transparency and accountability are a crucial step in addressing these failures and ensuring that such an incident never happens again. As the investigation unfolds, it is imperative that the American public remains informed and that those responsible are held accountable.
