On Fox News, he highlighted \u200dthat Trump, as a presidential \u2063candidate and former president, requires security that reflects the \u200bgenuine threats he faces, which according\u2063 to him, have not been adequately addressed. <\/p>\n<p>House \u2064Speaker Mike Johnson also\u2063 expressed that all \u200cavailable resources\u200b should be allocated for Trump&#8217;s safety, emphasizing that the current situation is \u200cmore \u2062severe than during Trump&#8217;s presidency, attributing the\u200b security issue to \u200c&#8221;manpower allocation&#8221; rather than financial resources.

The former Secretary of State contends that funding is not the issue and believes President Joe Biden can take action to enhance security for former President Donald Trump. Following Trump&#8217;s second assassination attempt on Sunday, there have been calls for Congress to adequately fund the Secret Service to ensure Trump&#8217;s safety during his presidential campaign. Pompeo described these assassination attempts as indicative of a &#8220;systemic failure&#8221; and asserted that Trump is likely the most endangered individual among U.S. senior leaders. He stated on Fox News&#8217;s The Story with Martha MacCallum that Trump deserves appropriate security, which has yet to be established, and dismissed claims about resource shortages as &#8220;silly.&#8221; He emphasized that Biden could mobilize additional resources from various departments or agencies to secure Trump&#8217;s safety against both isolated individuals and organized threats expected in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo also noted a lack of public information regarding other potential threats that may have been neutralized so far, stressing that Trump&#8217;s security must reflect the genuine risks he faces as both a candidate and former president. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) echoed this sentiment on Monday, asserting that all available resources should be allocated for Trump&#8217;s protection due to heightened threats compared to his time in office; he attributed security issues more to &#8220;manpower allocation&#8221; than funding.<\/p>\n<p>On social media, Trump blamed rhetoric from the Biden-Harris administration for contributing indirectly to his recent assassination attempt, with his campaign accusing Democrats of using increasingly inflammatory language against him by labeling him a &#8220;threat.&#8221; Both the FBI and Secret Service are investigating this latest attempt on Trump&#8217;s life, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) announced an independent state investigation. Additionally, a congressional task force looking into an earlier assassination attempt in July is now broadening its inquiry into Sunday&#8217;s incident. This latest threat follows an event in July when shots were fired at Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania, narrowly missing him<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2342036,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mike-Pompeo-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[41019,34163,3646,3634],"class_list":["post-2342035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-mike-pompeo","tag-secret-service","tag-security","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mike-Pompeo-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2342035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2342036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2342035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2342035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2342035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
