WATCH: Dan Bongino Provides Chilling Analysis Of Second Trump Assassination Attempt

Published

In the wake of yet another assassination attempt targeting former President Donald Trump just over 60 days after a bullet missed his head by millimeters on July 13, Secret Service veteran and top-rated political commentator Dan Bongino raised the possibility of a “mole” working with the Secret Service or Department of Homeland Security.

On Sunday, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh was engaged by Secret Service agents after aiming a scoped rifle through the fence outside of one of former President Trump’s golf courses in West Palm Beach. Routh was located roughly 300 yards from the former president — whose golf match was not listed on his public schedule — when he was spotted.

He was later apprehended after a an eyewitness identified both the suspect and his black Nissan. It has since been revealed that Routh traveled to Ukraine in 2022 and was working to recruit foreign fighters from Afghanistan, Pakistan and other nations for service in the Ukrainian Army. His social media profiles were also littered with anti-Trump rhetoric, and he donated to the Biden-Harris campaign in 2020.

On Monday, Bongino raised the chilling possibility that there could be a “mole” embedded within the Secret Service or DHS.

“I have to ask you all a really troubling question now that I promised you 10 years ago I would have called myself nuts for asking this,” Bongino said before a long pause. “Is there a mole inside the DHS or Secret Service?”

He then pointed out that there have been numerous, documented plots involving foreign nationals or governments working to infiltrate and subvert federal agencies. In one particular example, two men were convicted of impersonating federal agents in connection with an elaborate plot that duped the Secret Service.

“Folks, what happened yesterday in Secret Service jargon, the movement to the golf, the golf course, Donald Trump going to play golf at the golf course is what we call an OTR. Stands for an off-the-record movement, meaning it’s not on the official schedule, meaning very few people have access to it,” Bongino explained.

“What makes me even more curious about what happened yesterday is apparently the decision to golf was made at the last minute. Meaning, there were probably – when the decision was made, less than 10 people who knew about it. How’d this guy know to set up there?”

Bongino went on to note that Routh — who originally hails from North Carolina and currently lives in Hawaii — was not familiar with the area.

“How did he know how to set up, and where to set up, and that Trump was going to be there? Folks, the mole may not be a foreign national himself. I don’t want you to think Jason Bourne stuff. Don’t overcomplicate what doesn’t need to be over complicated,” he continued.

“Is there a honeypot trap going on in the Secret Service? Is there a guy or a woman in the Secret Service having a relationship with someone who is not who they say they are? The Iranians have been running these traps in Israel and elsewhere. The Iranians who want to kill President Trump. Folks, how do we know that there’s not some kind of honeypot trap and that some agent or some DHS personnel, someone who has to be notified, is not in a relationship with someone?”

Bongino continued to point to numerous examples of foreign interference with federal agents — including one case he was personally familiar with — throughout the segment.

Following the attempt on Trump’s life in July which killed retired firefighter Corey Comperatore and wounded three others, including Trump, Bongino predicted that there would be a second attempt on Trump’s life due to numerous security vulnerabilities that have not been fixed. “[If] you think this is the last incident, you’re out of your mind,” Bongino told lawmakers during an August field hearing.

Throughout his testimony, Bongino chastised the agency for out-dated tactics, commitment to DEI initiatives over performance and lack of up-to-date technology. “Everything from computer systems that waste agents’ times filling out time and attendance records they were doing” and “implementing slings – a technology as old as the wheel – about… five or six years into my time in the Secret Service,” he said.

The Secret Service veteran also pointed to the total lack of drone surveillance at the Butler, PA rally. “Now you’re seeing what happens when you don’t have a drone up at a site you could’ve bought for $39.99 on Amazon,” he said.
