Secret Service admits denying Trump's past requests for increased security at his campaign events

The Secret Service acknowledged late Saturday, a week after the attempt on Trump's life, that it had turned back some requests to increase security The Secret Service has acknowledged it denied some requests by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign for increased security at his events in the years before the assassination attempt on him at a recent rally.

In the immediate aftermath of the July 13 attack, the law enforcement agency had denied rejecting such requests. But the Secret Service acknowledged late Saturday, a week after the attempt on Trump's life, that it had turned back some requests to increase security around the former president.

The reversal is likely to be a key focus of a congressional hearing Monday where Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is expected to appear before lawmakers who have been expressing anger over security lapses that allowed a 20-year-old gunman to climb atop the roof of a nearby building at Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and fire his weapon.


Trump was wounded in the right ear, one rallygoer was killed and two others were injured. A Secret Service gunman killed the shooter. "The Secret Service has a broad, dynamic and complex mission. We work in a dynamic threat environment every day to ensure the safety of our subjects during a variety of events, travel and other challenging environments," the agency's chief spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi, said in a statement late Saturday. The Post first reported the agency's transformation based on detailed questions posed to intelligence agencies. "We pursue a comprehensive, multi-layered strategy that balances manpower, technology and specific operational needs," Guglielmi said.


He said the agency would turn to state and local law enforcement in cases where dedicated Secret Service units were not available.


"In cases where dedicated Secret Service units or resources were not available, the agency made modifications to ensure the safety of wardens," Gugliemi said. "This could include leveraging state and local partners to provide specialized capabilities or finding alternative means to reduce wardens' exposure to public spaces."

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7. The territory — a limited segment of land among Israel and Egypt, close to the Mediterranean Ocean — is home to generally 2.3 million Palestinians and is portrayed as quite possibly of the most thickly populated put on The planet. The 140-square-mile district is generally the size of Philadelphia. Most of the people who live in Gaza are youthful, with practically 65% of the populace younger than 24. ' World's biggest outside jail' Beginning around 2007, Israel has forced an air, land and ocean bar on the Gaza Strip, saying the move is important to protect the country from Hamas' assaults. Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di...

The group has been responsible for numerous attacks on Israeli civilians, including children and women. #BarbericHamas #BrutalityagainstIsraeliwWomenChildren #IndiawithIsrael #TerroristHamas  In one particularly barbaric act, Hamas militants attacked a school bus in southern Israel in 2004, killing five Israeli children and wounding several others.

The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits the targeting of civi...

Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the long-running offensive against the southern Gaza town of Rafah, regardless of Hamas' response to calls for a new ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages. Hopes for an end to the conflict have risen in recent days, with Egypt once again calling for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas. But so far there is little agreement between the two sides on the most important differences. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed concern about Israel's increasing isolation from the conflict in Gaza. Most of Gaza'...
