Repeated sniper alerts, exposed head of VVIP: Details Secret Service missed before Donald Trump was nearly killed
Live MintDonald Trump Assassination Bid: After the failed 'assassination' attempt on a Republican candidate for the US Presidential Elections two days ago, security lapses in the Pennsylvania rally have made itself prominent. Amid all, questions arose over the role of the Secret Service in failing to prevent the assassination bid by the 'registered' Republican on the Republican candidate Donald Trump. The Secret Service, responsible for safeguarding US political figures, has faced criticism for allowing a gunman with an assault rifle to position themselves on a roof approximately 500 feet away from Trump, who is competing against President Joe Biden in the upcoming 5 November elections. Florida Congressman Mike Waltz claimed that the Secret Service received multiple requests to enhance protection for US presidential candidate Donald Trump, which were allegedly denied by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
