“The failure to deploy drone technology is all the more concerning since, according to the whistleblower, the drones offered had the capability not only to identify active shooters but also to help neutralize them,” Hawley wrote. He questioned why the Secret Service did not utilize its own drones, stressing the dire consequences of the agency’s decision to refuse external help.
In his plea for answers, Hawley asked the Department of Homeland Security to provide “all records and communications concerning the availability or use of drones at the July 13, 2024 rally in Butler, PA.” He also insisted that Secretary Mayorkas testify before Congress to address these “staggering security failures.”
The near-fatal incident on July 13 involved Trump narrowly dodging a bullet as he turned to read a chart. The shot, fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks with an AR-15-style rifle, tragically struck and killed Corey Comperatore, a former firefighter chief who heroically shielded his family. Two other bystanders were critically injured in the chaos.
In response to the incident, new legislation has been introduced that mandates the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, and the Secretary of Homeland Security to declassify crucial information related to the assassination attempt and the shooter’s motives. Hawley is set to introduce the “Trump Assassination Attempt Transparency Act,” a bill aimed at compelling the federal government to declassify all details concerning the incident.
“We need the truth about the assassination attempt against President Trump,” Hawley told Fox News. “We can’t let the federal government hide behind the ‘classified’ label. This investigation must be done out in the open for the American people to see – no more stonewalling, no more evading questions. Time for accountability.”
The proposed bill calls for intelligence agencies to compile and present a detailed report to Congress on their findings, following Trump’s repeated pleas for additional resources. If passed, this legislation could reveal layers of secrecy surrounding national security incidents and potentially reform how intelligence is handled and shared at the highest levels. The assassination attempt led to the resignation of Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle, who stepped down just a day after facing bipartisan anger during her testimony before the House Oversight Committee.
Brutal “Pocket Weapon” Stops Hearts (discounted for next 78)
Senator Hawley’s revelations and subsequent legislative efforts aim to uncover the truth behind the security failures and ensure that such critical lapses do not occur in the future. The American public deserves transparency and accountability from their government, especially in matters of national security.
