There is an untrue assertion that a member of the former President's team requested additional security resources & that those were rebuffed. This is absolutely false. In fact, we added protective resources & technology & capabilities as part of the increased travel tempo campaign

" There is an untrue claim that a member of the former President's team requested additional security resources and that they were refused. This is absolutely false. In fact, we added resources, technology and defense capabilities as part of increasing the pace of campaign travel ," he wrote in a post on the X platform on Sunday.
The objection came after Florida Republican Representative and Army veteran Mike Waltz said he had "very reliable sources" who told him there had been "repeated requests" for stronger Secret Service protection for Trump, which had been denied by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
