Milwaukee, Wisconsin – After hearing from multiple United States Secret Service (USSS) whistleblowers, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray on Thursday demanding answers to several questions about the security failures that led to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

In the letter to Wray, a copy of which was first obtained by The Daily Caller, Jordan said the USSS whistleblower told the committee that resources to cover Trump were limited due to the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., and First Lady Jill Biden's campaign rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

“The whistleblower disclosed to the Committee that the USSS led two briefings regarding the July 13, 2024 campaign rally, one on July 8, 2024, with the Western Pennsylvania Fusion Center (WPFC) and other stakeholders to discuss an upcoming, unrelated visit by President Trump and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden. USSS Special Agent Tim Burke reportedly told his law enforcement partners that resources were limited that week because the USSS was in Washington, DC covering the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit, and that FBI personnel were present at the briefings. While the Committee recognizes that the FBI is one of many agencies represented at WPFC, the FBI is the lead federal investigative agency and a key source of information regarding potential special event threats in its area of ​​responsibility,” Jordan wrote in the letter.

“The committee has several outstanding questions about the failures that led to the first presidential assassination attempt in more than 40 years, and whether the FBI could have conducted a prompt, transparent and thorough investigation in the wake of recent scandals, so that the committee can effectively evaluate these issues during your testimony on July 24, 2024,” he added.

In his letter, Jordan requested the following:

• How many agents, analysts and support personnel has the FBI committed to the investigation?
• Was there coordination between the FBI, USSS and WPFC prior to President Trump's July 13 event?
• How many buildings needed to be secured inside and outside the security perimeter at President Trump's event on July 13?
• Why was the roof of the AGR International Building left unprotected?
• How much time passed between when the shooter was identified as a potential threat and when the assassination attempt occurred?
• How much time passed between when a local police officer encountered a gunman on a sloping roof and when the assassination attempt took place?
• Did the FBI interview local police officers who encountered the shooter?
• What does the FBI's assessment of the perpetrator's cellphone and digital activity indicate about his actions and movements in the days and hours leading up to the assassination attempt?
• Is the FBI investigation limited to the shooter and his motives, or will it also include the security failures that led to the assassination attempt?
• Pittsburgh?
• How did communication breakdowns between various law enforcement agencies affect local law enforcement and the USSS's ability to identify the shooter as a potential threat and mitigate that threat before the shooter took action?
• Once the threat was known or detected, what steps did the USSS take to remove or conceal President Trump?

Jordan also demands that:

• Any FBI reports, analyses, or threat assessments conducted or prepared that refer to or relate to the July 13, 2024, President Trump events.
• All documents and communications between WPFC and FBI personnel regarding President Trump's events, including, but not limited to, requests by WPFC for additional analytical resources.
• All documents and communications between the FBI and USSS regarding President Trump's July 13th events.
• All FD-1023 and FD-302 pertaining to classified human source reports and reviews of ongoing and completed domestic terrorism investigations in the Pittsburgh area regarding potential threat information directed toward President Trump's July 13 event.
