Yeah, so if this is true, someone needs to go to prison for perjuring themselves before Congress.

From Sen. Hawley's attached letter:

Dear Acting Director Rowe,

I have received new whistleblower allegations that again call into question your recent testimony before the Senate. One whistleblower with knowledge of Secret Service planning for former President Trump's trip to Butler, Pennsylvania alleges that officials at Secret Service headquarters encouraged agents in charge of the trip not to request any additional security assets in its formal manpower request effectively denying these assets through informal means. Yet you have repeatedly suggested that no security assets had been denied for the Butler event. You must explain this apparent contradiction immediately.

...

According to the allegations, officials within this office preemptively informed the Pittsburgh field office that the Butler rally was not going to receive additional security resources because Trump is a former president and not the incumbent President or Vice President. According to the whistleblower, the manpower request did not include extra security resources because agents on the ground were told not to ask for them in the first place.

Hawley said he had previously asked Rowe "about a separate whistleblower's allegations to my office that personnel from [the Counter Surveillance Division] would have handcuffed the gunman in the parking lot after he was spotted with a rangefinder, but they were not present on the day."

Here's what Rowe previously said before Congress:

If you're talking about Butler, Pennsylvania, all assets requested were approved.

Hawley then blasted Rowe for only putting a few agents on leave nearly 6 weeks after the former president was nearly murdered. He then demanded that Rowe provide Congress clarity around the manpower request and the people involved, including a copy of the request.

Remember, there are more than a few unanswered questions in play here:

Nice work on the strongly-worded letter, senator.

Let's not leave it at that per usual.
