At this point, we should consider DOGE bombing the Secret Service. This agency was cagey and uncooperative in answering the most basic of questions following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last summer. They allowed a drunk man to infiltrate former National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan’s home. There are also rampant accusations that agents aren’t being adequately trained. It’s a mess, and while it’s refreshing that there’s a director, Sean M. Curran, who isn’t a drooling vegetable, these incidents involving the bureau are becoming a national disgrace.
What’s the latest fiasco? It involved Trump’s trip to Scotland, where he's set to meet with Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission. A Secret Service agent tried to sneak his wife onto an agency plane to the destination. Based on multiple sources, Susan Crabtree dropped details on this embarrassing incident yesterday:
Security Breach on Trump’s Scotland Trip—A Dallas USSS special agent tried to smuggle his wife on a Secret Service car plane accompanying President Trump’s security detail to Scotland. The agent flew his wife to Maryland, then she even received the official Secret Service country brief at the hotel and rode the bus to the distinguished visitor lounge at Joint Base Andrews before she was discovered and told to leave…
The wife was an Air Force employee. so the agent apparently used that detail as his excuse for the “misunderstanding.” pic.twitter.com/BmAc2CLKiX

The BBC reported on the tightening of security for Trump’s visit to Scotland. As Crabtree posted, that story did not age well.
What is going on over there?
Side note: Curran put his life on the line to protect Trump; he was one of four agents who leaped onto the stage to defend him in Butler.
