On July 21, according to the New York Times, four people familiar with the matter said that in the two years before Trump's attempted assassination at a Pennsylvania rally last Saturday, senior officials of the U.S. Secret Service had repeatedly rejected requests from Trump's security personnel for additional resources and personnel. Agents tasked with keeping the former president safe have asked for magnetometers and more agents at sporting events and other large public gatherings attended by Trump, as well as additional snipers and special teams at other outdoor events. They said the requests, which had never been reported before, were sometimes rejected by senior officials of the agency, who cited various reasons, including the agency's long-standing struggle with staffing shortages and lack of resources.
