From Just the News:
Conservative watchdog Judicial Watch on Tuesday announced that it sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for information regarding additional Secret Service protection requests for former President Donald Trump prior to the July 13 assassination attempt.
The DHS allegedly repeatedly denied requests for more protection for Trump over the past two years, including rejecting requests for magnetometers and more security at large Trump rallies, per the Washington Post.
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit is requesting all documents and communication between the Secret Service, DHS, and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, related or referring to any potential increase of protective resources to Trump’s security detail.
“The Biden-Harris Secret Service lied about denying President Trump increased protection requests and is now trying to cover up that deadly scandal,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement shared with Just The News. “The Biden-Harris administration has yet to release one record about the Trump assassination attempt under FOIA – which is why Judicial Watch is now in federal court.”
