Congressman Michael Waltz, a former Green Beret, has raised serious concerns about the recent investigation into an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. In a congressional hearing, Waltz highlighted that the acting director of security presented misleading information to Congress. According to him, new video evidence shows the alleged assassin moving around on a rooftop—something that should have been noted but was ignored.
Waltz argued that this lack of accountability affects not just the Secret Service, but the entire defense department. He believes many officials need to be held responsible for their actions. If a sheriff’s deputy can be suspended for an accidental discharge of a firearm, why are those in charge of Trump’s safety still in their positions after failing to secure the event? It’s a puzzling double standard that has many scratching their heads.
Additionally, Waltz pointed out inconsistencies in the FBI’s statements. The deputy director claimed there was a social media account connected to the shooter, but they weren’t sure if it was relevant. However, the social media site Gab proved otherwise, linking the account directly to the suspect and revealing troubling anti-Trump and anti-Semitic sentiments. This troubling lack of clear information leaves many Americans confused about whom to trust.
Waltz firmly believes that the entire chain of command responsible for security must be investigated. He demands subpoenas for the officials who designed the security plan for the rally, particularly those who declined essential assets like counter snipers and drones. These decisions could have serious consequences, and Waltz insists that the truth must come out.
In this heated environment, skepticism is growing as more instances of alleged lying come to light. Waltz and his colleagues are calling for transparency and enforcement of accountability. The calls for action are loud and clear, and the American people are waiting for answers. The ramifications of this ongoing investigation could have far-reaching effects on the future of political safety and how such security operations are managed.
