Trump’s 2024 senior adviser mentioned “politics” is getting in the way in which of security and alleged that Secret Service belongings are being undercut when tasked with defending the ex-president.
“No president in this country, and I mean, no president, Republican or Democrat should be in this situation, not once, but twice,” Habba mentioned throughout her Friday look on “Jesse Watters Primetime” with Fox Information host Jesse Watters.
“It’s an embarrassment to our country. It’s an embarrassment to President Trump,” she continued. “It’s an embarrassment frankly, to Harris and Biden, because they’re the ones in charge right now, and denying assets to a president and future, frankly, future president and the candidate that’s doing the best right now is a serious concern of mine.”
“But when you aren’t given tools to protect a former president, a future president, a candidate, anybody in this country, that’s a problem. That’s a problem by this administration.”
Habba’s remarks come lower than per week after a Secret Service agent engaged with a suspected gunman at Trump’s Worldwide Golf Membership in Florida on Sept. 15. Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, is accused of pushing the muzzle of a rifle by way of the fence alongside the perimeter of Trump’s golf course. He was arrested by native authorities after fleeing the scene.

“The president is aware that he has the highest levels of protection that Secret Service is providing him. …There’s a lot of tactical assets in place, things that have been put in place as a result of what happened 60 days ago. Those elements are working,” he added.

“So I want to be clear on where I stand,” she mentioned. “I love the agents that help us. I love police and anybody that devotes their time away from their family to protect all of us, that includes the police, because, as you know, we don’t defund the police, but we got a real problem here.”
