Senate Republicans Urge Secret Service Whistleblowers

A Secret Service counter sniper has issued a dire warning about a potential assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, stating that necessary changes within the agency must occur immediately to prevent another incident. In an email shared with the Uniformed Division, the sniper criticized the agency's leadership and culture, expressing a lack of pride in his work due to perceived failures in protecting Trump. This warning follows a recent assassination attempt that resulted in one death and left Trump with minor injuries, prompting Senate Republicans to call for more whistleblowers to expose issues within the Secret Service. Senators Ron Johnson, Ted Cruz, and Marsha Blackburn emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability, referencing the need for internal reports to Congress. The acting Secret Service Director, Ronald Rowe, faced scrutiny over security lapses during the shooting incident, including the rejection of drone surveillance offers. The overall sentiment among lawmakers is a push for systemic reform within the agency to enhance security for high-profile figures.
