Another security breach.
A Glock stashed in a club member’s bag got past Secret Service at President Trump’s Virginia golf course while President Trump was golfing there late last month.
The Secret Service allegedly manually searched the club member’s bag and somehow missed the firearm.
Excerpt from RealClearPolitics:
Just a few hours earlier, Leavitt was defending the Secret Service to RCP over a security breach last week at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, in which a club member was able to get a semi-automatic Glock handgun through security checkpoints and into the club. The gun was not located anywhere near Trump, who was on the golf course, and the firearm never posed a danger to the president, several sources familiar with the breach asserted.
The club member who inadvertently had the Glock in his bag that day when he entered the golf club was chagrined that the Secret Service had manually searched the bag without finding the gun.
The shaken and incensed club member took the initiative to tell the Secret Service that he accidentally got the gun through security and pressed the agents and officers protecting Trump at the golf course as to how they could have failed to find it. Other club members also wanted to know how the Secret Service could be sure there were no other weapons brought into the club that day, several sources told RCP.
Secret Service agents interviewed the man about his experience, and the agency launched an investigation into the breach, placing the Uniformed Division officer who had screened the man with the Glock on administrative leave while the probe takes place.
The Secret Service released a statement about missing the Glock to RCP’s Susan Crabtree.
The SS employee involved in the security breach was immediately removed from operational duties and place on leave.
“The U.S. Secret Service takes the safety and security of our sites very seriously and there are redundant security layers built into every one. The Secret Service initiated an internal review into employee conduct after a member of a Virginia golf club notified the agency that they inadvertently brought their firearm into a protective site on August 31. 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 Secret Service employee involved in the member’s security screening was immediately removed from operational duties and has since been placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the review.”
Here’s the @SecretService statement about missing the glock in a bag that got through USSS security screening while Trump was golfing at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va. last week.
I’m still waiting on their statement re: the fiasco involving the pro-Palestinian…

On Tuesday evening, the Secret Service allowed pro-Hamas Code Pink protestors to get within feet of President Trump while he was dining at a restaurant in DC.
