President Donald Trump has addressed reports of a Secret Service agent allegedly attempting to smuggle his wife onto a cargo plane during his recent trip to Scotland. In an interview, the former President stated that he finds the incident “strange” and left the investigation into the matter in the hands of the agency.
According to Fox News Digital, the alleged incident occurred on July 26, when the agent attempted to smuggle his wife onto a Secret Service cargo aircraft, which was being used to transport personnel and equipment. The plane was reportedly bound for Scotland to accompany Trump during his trip, where he met with officials.
As reported by Real Clear Politics, it is unclear whether Mrs. [Trump’s wife] was on the flight or had even planned to join Mr. Trump in Scotland. However, the Secret Service confirmed that no protectees were present onboard, and there was no impact on their overseas protective operations.
This alleged incident has raised concerns about the agency’s security protocols following a series of high-profile incidents, including two attempted assassinations against Trump himself. The Secret Service assured that they have made significant changes to their practices in the wake of these events, but some critics argue that further reforms are necessary to ensure the safety of its protectees.
The incident has sparked intense speculation and debate within the political sphere, with some questioning whether this is an isolated incident or a sign of deeper issues within the agency.
