On July 13, 2024, America First Legal (AFL) announced the initiation of an investigation into the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The probe aims to determine whether President Trump was denied additional U.S. Secret Service protection by the Biden administration, as suggested by recent reports.
The Federalist reported that a "source familiar with Trump's security detail" indicated that "the former and future president's detail has been asking for beefed-up protection and resources for weeks but has been rebuffed time and again by Biden's DHS." According to the source, DHS, which oversees Secret Service protective details, "wasn't responsive to those requests" for more resources.
America First Legal is committed to uncovering the truth regarding these allegations.
