Secret Service responds to report they 'repeatedly' denied requests to Trump security detail in the past

The U.S. Secret Service recently responded to a Washington Post report that claimed the agency's top officials "repeatedly" denied requests to former President Trump's security detail.

The report comes exactly a week after former President Donald Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, while speaking at a rally, prior to his 2024 presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. 

The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, had been observed by attendees before the shooting began.
