Leon Panetta says lapses ‘particularly disturbing’ given reports of threats from Iran towards former president
, which he co-hosts with Sir Richard Dearlove, a former head of the British intelligence service MI6, Panetta said: “It’s particularly disturbing because of what we found out: that the intelligence community provided information to the Secret Service that there’s … assassination threats from Iran, on former President Trump as well as others, but they as a result of that supposedly increased the deployment of Secret Service protection.
Facing calls to resign, the Secret Service director, Kimberly Cheatle, must also deal with questions about how the 20-year-old gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was able to reach the roof from which he fired at the Butler county show grounds, despite being seen by multiple witnesses and security officers.: “In this particular instance, we did share support for that particular site and the Secret Service was responsible for the inner perimeter.
“Here is a guy with a gun climbing on the roof of a building within 150 yards of the former president … what it really raises is the failure of the Secret Service to do what they’re supposed to do.
