“As you know, attempted assassination against current and old presidents are rare but deeply substantial events in American life,” said Hawley. “And the American people rightly expect the total transparency of their government.”

“The public has learned much more from the denunciators than civil servants, and I published a report documenting these disclosure, many of which have been corroborated to date,” wrote Hawley. “In October of last year, during a unanimous vote, the internal security committee adopted my legislation requiring the liberation of the secret services to the public all the relevant documents.

“Now, I ask you to declass and immediately release all the documents relating to the first assassination attempt on President Trump to the full measure of your authority, subject to the narrowest possible editorials to protect in progress operations or individual security,” he said. “The public deserves a complete and precise report of this event, the circumstances which allowed him to occur and the measures that the government has since taken to strengthen the protective measures.”

Hawley asked for a complete inventory of all classified or non -public documents linked to the first attempted assassination on Trump, including reports, internal communications, threat assessments, after -action exams and coordinated files with other agencies.

Hawley published a report in September, detailing the failures of the secret services as part of Trump’s assassination attempt in July, which included allegations of denunciation which are “very damaging to the credibility” of the agency.

Hawley accused the secret services, the FBI and the DHS of all “to escape real responsibility”.

“These agencies and their leaders have slowly traveled the Congress surveys, misleaded the American people and shaken responsibility,” said the report.

After the first of the two assassination attempts against Trump in just over two months, Hawley visited the Mapicler Rally site to interview the repairing reproductors and opened a tip for a tip in dismissal, encouraging people with relevant information to share with civil servants.

Documents assigned by the Senate Committee for Internal Security and Government Affairs also show major failures among the six American secret service agents (USSS) who were suspended without salary in response to the assassination attempt.

The documents were based on interviews with the agents and their colleagues and revealed that several agents admitted the existence of main security problems during the butler rally, but none of them has raised concerns or helped produce a plan to properly cover the roof that provided Trump crooks clearly.
