FROM NY POST: The Secret Service failed to detect a Glock handgun in a guest’s bag that agents manually searched at President Trump’s Virginia golf club while the commander in chief was on site late last month.
The member at Trump National Golf Club Washington DC, which is located in Sterling, Va., later informed the protective agency about the firearm and was described by a senior official to The Post as “cooperative” with investigators.
The Secret Service has since launched a review of the Aug. 31 security failure, first reported by RealClearPolitics, which comes just over 13 months after an assassination attempt against Trump during a Butler, Pa. campaign rally on July 13, 2024.
An agency spokesperson responded to the incident, saying, “The US Secret Service takes the safety and security of our sites very seriously and there are redundant security layers built into every one.”
“Video surveillance indicates the club member was never in close physical proximity to the President’s location at any point while at the golf club,” the spokesperson added.
