Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino says an “unimpeachable source” told him there was supposed to be someone on the roof from where gunman Thomas Crooks shot at Trump but that they “didn’t show up.”
Bongino made the comments during an appearance on a podcast with Tucker Carlson at the RNC.
“So I was just showing Tucker some material from an unimpeachable source let’s just say on the matter,” said Bongino.
“That post, according to my source, that roof was supposed to be a police post, there was supposed to be someone there,” he added.
“They’re now making up excuses saying the pitch or the roof, my source says to me no one knows why the source didn’t show up, so that’s a nonsense story they’re putting out in the media,” Bongino asserted.
The former NYPD officer also claimed that Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle has been told to “keep your mouth shut” by the Biden administration and the DHS if she wants to keep her job.
Bongino said if site post logs and police instructions were made public, it would unravel what really happened.
