While golfing at the Trump National Golf Club, gunshots were fired, leading to the arrest of suspect Ryan Wesley Routh shortly thereafter. Hawley stated that whistleblowers informed his office that the Secret Service had previously provided security at this golf course &#8220;many times&#8221; and typically follows protocols to guard known vulnerabilities. He emphasized on Fox News&#8217;s Jesse Watters Primetime that despite their usual practices of stationing agents in vulnerable areas before Trump&#8217;s arrival, they apparently did not do so during this incident. He expressed concerns over whether the Secret Service conducted a perimeter sweep prior to Trump&#8217;s golfing session, which he deemed another breach of protocol.<\/p>\n<p>This latest assassination attempt is reportedly the second in roughly two months against Trump, with Hawley noting that Congress has yet to receive requested evidence from the Secret Service regarding these incidents. He accused them of &#8220;stonewalling&#8221; and insisted they need to be transparent with the public. The first attempt occurred during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where local law enforcement expressed frustration over what they perceived as the Secret Service&#8217;s failure to take responsibility for security lapses.<\/p>\n<p>Hawley remarked on how prolonged silence from an agency raises serious questions and described their lack of cooperation as stonewalling\u2014an action he finds troubling and calls for accountability on their part.<\/p>\n<p>In response to recent events, multiple investigations are underway including one by Florida&#8217;s state government. Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) stated he believes it is unwise for federal agencies involved in prosecuting Trump to also lead this investigation. Following these attempts on Trump&#8217;s life, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), who is running alongside Trump in 2024, indicated he had not sought additional Secret Service protection but stressed that another successful assassination could have devastating consequences for the nation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2343343,"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\/Hawley-second-assassination-attempt-scaled-1024x682.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[40952,34799,34163,3634,32076],"class_list":["post-2343342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-golf-course","tag-josh-hawley","tag-secret-service","tag-trump","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Hawley-second-assassination-attempt-scaled-1024x682.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343342","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=2343342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343342\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2343343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2343342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2343342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2343342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
