The Florida Republican congressman and member of the House Oversight Committee, who shortly after the July 13 assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump claimed Homeland Security and the Secret Service denied the Trump campaign’s request for a bulkier protection package for the president, today blasted Homeland Security Secretary for dismissing a claim that is now proven to be true.
“Next time you’re going to call me and your own Secret Service agents liars on national TV, make sure that you’re not the one lying to the American people yourself,” said Rep. Michael Waltz, who is a serving Florida National Guard colonel and Special Forces veteran of Afghanistan, in an X-post today.
