An exclusive report by WXPI has revealed that two Pittsburgh police motorcycle officers who were injured at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, have been removed from their motorcycle unit.
Chief Investigator Rick Earle of WXPI reported that two officers who were tasked with assisting President Trump’s motorcade to and from his rally in Butler on Saturday were removed from their unit.
Sources told Earle that the officers notified the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police and received authorization to help protect Trump.
The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, however, claims that the officers never received proper authorization and have been removed from their unit for doing so.
Spokesperson of the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, Cara Cruz, shared, “This was an administrative decision made by the Chief. Per the FOP [union] contract, I am unable to speak to the reasons behind the move as it involves personnel,”
