Conservative pundit Dan Bongino dropped a bombshell about the security weaknesses that led to the attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life during an appearance on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast. Bongino, drawing on his 12 years of experience in the Secret Service, revealed that the rooftop from which the would-be assassin took aim was supposed to be monitored by law enforcement but was left unguarded. This crucial information, shared by a reliable source, exposes a disturbing lapse in security protocols.
Furthermore, Bongino shed light on the alleged directive given to Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to keep quiet about the incident. This blatant attempt to cover up the failures in protecting a former president is deeply concerning and raises serious questions about the integrity of the security apparatus.

Despite being identified as a high-risk location by the Secret Service, the building’s rooftop remained unsecured, allowing the assailant to take aim at Trump from a relatively short distance. The lack of law enforcement presence and the failure to act on suspicious activities prior to the shooting point to a grave dereliction of duty on the part of those responsible for the safety of the former president.
The attempt on Trump’s life underscores the urgent need for transparency and accountability within the security agencies tasked with safeguarding our leaders. Bongino’s call for Cheatle’s resignation in the wake of this harrowing event is justified, as her reluctance to take responsibility for the lapses in security is unacceptable. The American people deserve answers and assurances that such a breach will never happen again.
As more details come to light, the full extent of the security failures leading up to the attack must be thoroughly investigated and addressed. The safety of our leaders should never be compromised due to negligence or incompetence within the ranks entrusted with their protection. The public’s trust in the security agencies must be restored through swift and decisive action to prevent future threats to our democracy.
