Officials at Secret Service headquarters told agents working Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, not to request additional manpower resources for the July 13th event and warned any such requests would be denied, according to a whistleblower with knowledge of the matter.
The sensational allegation contradicts Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr.’s previous testimony to the Senate, where he repeatedly suggested that no security assets had been denied for the Butler event.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) released a scathing letter to Rowe Friday demanding he “explain this apparent contradiction immediately.”

Yet you have repeatedly suggested that no security assets had been denied for the Butler event. You must explain this apparent contradiction immediately.

This normally includes the number of personnel and other security assets needed for the event and is submitted to the U.S. Secret Service’s Office of Protective Operations – Manpower (OPO – Manpower) for final approval. According to the allegations, officials within this office preemptively informed the Pittsburgh field office that the Butler rally was not going to receive additional security resources because Trump is a former president and not the incumbent President or Vice President. According to the whistleblower, the manpower request did not include extra security resources because agents on the ground were told not to ask for them in the first place. […]
