United States Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday presenting additional shocking whistleblower claims pertaining to the U.S. Secret Service's failed response to the recent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In the letter, Hawley noted that the gunman had used a drone to survey the area around the rally ahead of the event, a fact which was confirmed by FBI Director Christopher Wray yesterday during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
More than two hours before the attempted assassination, the shooter flew the drone for roughly 11 minutes, approximately 200 yards from the stage, Wray said.
"This raises an obvious question: why was the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) not using its own drones?" Hawley asked Mayorkas.
