Former President Donald Trump recently stated that he maintains “great confidence” in the Secret Service, following the reassignment of multiple agency employees involved in the Pennsylvania rally where he survived an assassination attempt.
Trump emphasized his long-standing relationship with the agency, mentioning that he was not aware of the specific agents who were reassigned. He expressed optimism that lessons learned from the incident would enhance security measures for future events.
However, Trump also criticized the Biden administration for allegedly failing to provide an adequate number of agents to ensure the safety of his “massive rallies.” He contrasted this with what he perceived as a surplus of Secret Service personnel assigned to President Biden's smaller gatherings.
Reports indicate that Trump's security detail had previously raised concerns about insufficient resources and personnel from the Secret Service over the past couple of years. The agency itself acknowledged last month that it had turned down certain requests for additional support.
Despite these challenges, Trump's remarks suggest that he remains supportive of the Secret Service and believes in the agency's ability to address security concerns effectively.
