five minutes before Trump&rsquo;s motorcade arrived and found the female agent &ldquo;breast-feeding her child in a room that is supposed to be set aside for important Secret Service official work, i.e. a potential emergency related to the president.&rdquo; Two members of the female agent&rsquo;s family were also purportedly found in the room.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;A working agent on duty cannot bring a child to a protective assignment,&rdquo; the report reads.<\/p>\n<p>The sources who spoke with Crabtree reportedly claimed the agent and her family members &ldquo;bypassed the Uniformed Division checkpoint&rdquo; and were led into the room by an event staffer who was not properly cleared by the Secret Service to be in that location. The agent in question came from the agency&rsquo;s Atlanta field office, according to Crabtree.<\/p>\n<p>Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi seemingly confirmed the incident did, in fact, occur. In a statement to RCP, Guglielmi claimed the agent&rsquo;s reported abandonment of her post made &ldquo;no impact to the North Carolina event&rdquo; but added that &ldquo;the specifics of [the] incident are being examined.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-55e02d95c3476368b0793126ce4abf9b fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-55e02d95c3476368b0793126ce4abf9b\"><\/div>\n<p>&ldquo;All employees of the U.S. Secret Service are held to the highest standards,&rdquo; the spokesman said. &ldquo;Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Recall that Guglielmi <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/23\/this-is-how-you-deal-with-the-fake-news-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">denied and smeared<\/a> Federalist CEO Sean Davis&rsquo; reporting that the Department of Homeland Security &mdash; which oversees the Secret Service &mdash; declined repeated requests by Trump&rsquo;s security detail for additional personnel in the weeks leading up to the July 13 assassination attempt on the former president. Guglielmi ultimately admitted Davis&rsquo; reporting was true to The Washington Post. <\/p>\n<p>Thursday&rsquo;s revelations are the latest in a series of damning reports, released in the weeks after the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/assassination-attempt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attempt on Trump&rsquo;s life<\/a>, documenting the Secret Service&rsquo;s myriad failures and negligence.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, for example, Business Insider <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.md\/2j268\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> that Secret Service agents broke into a closed Massachusetts salon last month while overseeing security for a nearby fundraiser held for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Susan Crabtree from RealClearPolitics disclosed on Thursday that during Trump&#8217;s rally in Asheville, North Carolina, the agent &#8220;abandoned her post to breastfeed without notifying the event site agent.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Crabtree noted that just five minutes before Trump&#8217;s motorcade arrived, the site agent conducting a final security sweep discovered the female agent breastfeeding in a room designated for critical Secret Service operations related to potential emergencies involving the president. Additionally, two family members of the agent were allegedly found in that same room.<\/p>\n<p>The report emphasized that &#8220;a working agent on duty cannot bring a child to a protective assignment.&#8221; Sources indicated that both the agent and her family had bypassed security checkpoints and were allowed into the room by an event staff member who lacked proper clearance from Secret Service.<\/p>\n<p>Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi appeared to confirm that this incident occurred but stated it had &#8220;no impact on the North Carolina event,&#8221; while also mentioning that details of the situation are under review. He reiterated that all Secret Service employees are expected to adhere to high standards but refrained from further comments due to it being a personnel matter.<\/p>\n<p>This incident follows other troubling reports regarding Secret Service conduct after an assassination attempt on Trump\u2019s life. For instance, Business Insider recently reported an incident where agents unlawfully entered a closed salon while providing security for Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s fundraiser nearby. The salon owner claimed they did not grant permission for entry and found signs of forced entry along with disarray left behind by agents.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn Fleetwood is a staff writer at The Federalist and has contributed articles across various platforms including RealClearPolitics and Conservative Review.
