Whistleblowers allege the Secret Service failed to follow protocol in securing Donald Trump’s golf course during a recent assassination attempt, prompting calls for accountability from Sen. Josh Hawley.

New allegations from whistleblowers suggest that critical security protocols were not followed during an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at Trump National Golf Club. The allegations have raised concerns about the role of the Secret Service in protecting Trump, as whistleblowers claim agents were not stationed at known vulnerable points on the course during the incident, a deviation from standard procedure.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), who has been leading calls for an investigation into the Secret Service’s handling of the situation, shared the whistleblowers’ details in an appearance on Fox News’s Jesse Watters Primetime. According to Hawley, the agency usually secures the golf course thoroughly whenever Trump plays, but on the day of the attempt, there was a significant breach in protocol.

“The service has guarded this course many, many times; they know where the vulnerabilities are, and they normally station agents ahead of Trump’s appearance,” Hawley explained. “But they apparently did not do that this last weekend, and the whistleblowers tell me ‘that’s strange, that’s out of protocol.’”
On the day of the attack, gunshots were heard while Trump was golfing, and suspect Ryan Wesley Routh was quickly arrested by law enforcement. However, the whistleblowers’ claims have raised questions about whether the perimeter of the course was properly swept before Trump’s arrival, as is required by Secret Service guidelines.
“It’s not even clear if the Secret Service swept the perimeter before Trump took to the course,” Hawley said. “That’s also a breach of protocol, and they want to know why, and so do I.”
This was the second assassination attempt on Trump in recent months. The first occurred during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where the Secret Service also faced scrutiny for alleged security failures. Hawley, expressing frustration with the agency’s lack of transparency, stated that the Secret Service has yet to provide essential evidence to congressional investigators. “For two months, you won’t answer questions in public, you won’t give congressional investigators any documents or evidence. That raises a lot of troubling questions,” Hawley said, accusing the agency of “stonewalling.”
