The Secret Service denied allegations that former President Donald Trump‘s team requested reinforcements as questions mount about how a shooter was able to get so close to the former president during his rally.

Following the assassination attempt against Trump Saturday during his rally in Pennsylvania, the Secret Service has been under scrutiny over the incident, and allegations that Trump’s team had previously requested additional resources, and were denied them, have continued to circulate.

Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Secret Service, denied such accusations on Sunday morning.
