The U.S. Secret Service has admitted in a reversal that it has, in fact, denied several requests from the detail in charge of protecting former President Donald Trump over the last couple years.

The admission from U.S. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi comes about a week before a lone gunman was able to graze Trump, kill a bystander, and injure two others at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The agency is facing significant scrutiny and several investigations following the assassination attempt that was not thwarted by law enforcement, even though the would-be shooter was identified as a possible threat shortly before opening fire.
