Sen. Josh Hawley is urging the Secret Service to suspend the agent in charge of the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally where former President Donald Trump was shot. The agent was “inexperienced, ineffective, and not up to the job,” a whistleblower told the Missouri Republican lawmaker.
Though the Secret Service agent “failed to implement basic security protocols,” the individual has not been fired, the whistleblower said.
Hawley sent a letter to acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. on Tuesday calling for the agent’s suspension while the agent is investigated.
