New Book Uncovers Security Breaches During Trump's Campaign

Ther are NO coincidences !

A new book has revealed startling details about security lapses leading up to the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, shedding light on critical vulnerabilities in the protection measures during his July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. According to the book, it became “clear there was a problem” in the security arrangements, with several warning signs overlooked leading up to the attack. The revelations have sparked outrage and calls for accountability as questions continue to swirl about how such a breach was allowed to occur despite prior intelligence and alerts.

The book Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power by Axios Senior Political Reporter Alex Isenstadt reveals how Trump’s security team members were concerned about the president’s safety before he began campaigning.

Isenstadt disclosed that Trump’s staff pointed to multiple instances where the president’s safety was compromised, including an August 2023 appearance at a Washington courthouse for an arraignment, where the elevator malfunctioned, stopping at random floors and exposing him to onlookers in the building.

According to the book, the Secret Service and the U.S. Marshals had “neglected to shut off the public’s access to the elevator Trump was using, leaving him exposed to whoever was in the building.”

“Trump’s elevator stopped at each floor, and after the door opened, onlookers gawked…Total freakshow, an aide with Trump in the elevator thought,” Isenstadt wrote.

An excerpt from the book also explained another instance during a four-mile ride back to Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., when police officers didn’t clear the roads for Trump’s motorcade.

“As the black SUVs barreled out of the city and onto the George Washington Memorial Parkway, it was clear there was a problem,” the book read. “Rush-hour drivers had clogged the rain-soaked roads and were weaving in and out of the same lanes as Trump’s vehicle. At one point, an accident was averted when a car cut in front of a van transporting the press pool, causing the van’s driver to slam the brakes. Trump could get rammed, though one member of Trump’s entourage.”

On September 15, 2024, a Secret Service agent assigned to Trump’s security detail spotted the barrel of a rifle poking through the shrubbery while patrolling the golf course’s perimeter, according to court documents. Routh, who is accused of lying in wait for more than 12 hours on the perimeter of the Trump International Golf Club in hopes of assassinating the then-presidential candidate, was later apprehended after he allegedly fled from the property.

The president also pointed to Routh allegedly possessing numerous cell phones, some with “strange markings.”

“The other one had seven or six cell phones, and I don’t have six cell phones,” Trump remarked. “Why would somebody have six cell phones? […] It’s a lot of cellphones, and a couple of them had some strange markings on them.”

Coupled with “an FBI that wouldn’t report on it—they didn’t want to say why—I would say that could be suspicious,” Trump said.
