In the weeks and now months following the July 13 assassination attempt against former and potentially future President Donald Trump, damning information about the failures involved, especially when it comes to the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), continues to come out. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has been in touch with whistleblowers, and came on Tuesday's episode of Fox News' "Jesse Watters Primetime" to share more information, including a lack of training for the agents assigned to Trump.

As Hawley shared with host Jesse Watters, what he had heard that night "is that most of the agents who were there at the rally in Butler were not Secret Service agents, they were in fact Homeland Security agents, and, get this, most of those Homeland Security agents, the only training they received was an online webinar, a two-hour online webinar!" Even more outrageous is that Hawley was also told the webinar had sound issues.

"So think about that! The... former president of the United States Donald Trump is sent out on stage, most of the people aren't trained, they're not qualified, they only got a webinar training, and even that didn't work," Hawley summed up, calling such a revelation "absolutely outrageous."

As the senator shared what he had heard with Watters, footage was played on the screen showing Trump speaking on stage as the suspect, Thomas Matthew Crooks, could be seen on the roof of a nearby building. Crooks ultimately shot Trump, killed a rally attendee, and wounded others.
