“Nobody warned me that there was danger” –

“Nobody told me anything. They could have told me to wait 15 minutes before starting to speak, or 20, or five minutes. But nobody told me anything.” This is how Donald Trump criticizes the security measures adopted by the Secret Service during his rally on Saturday, July 13, in Pennsylvania, during which he was the victim of an attempted assassination. In the interview with Fox News, which will be broadcast in full on Monday, the former president wonders how it was possible for the attacker to climb armed onto a roof not far from the rally stage, undisturbed even though several people had raised the alarm about his presence.

Meanwhile, Democrats are also calling for the resignation of the director of the Secret Service. Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman Brendan Boyle has called for the resignation of the director of the US Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle as more security breaches continue to come to light that may have contributed to the near-assassination of Donald Trump on July 13, the Guardian reports. In a statement released after the Washington Post reported that the presidential protection agency had denied Trump’s requests for additional security measures for two years, Boyle said he had “no confidence” in the agency’s leadership. “I am calling on Director Cheatle to resign immediately,” Boyle said in a statement published on X. “The evidence that has emerged has shown unacceptable operational failures,” he added. “I have no confidence in the leadership of the United States Secret Service if Director Cheatle chooses to remain in her position.” Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have called for new leadership. According to McConnell: “The nation deserves answers and accountability. New leadership would be an important step in that direction.”
