 There were a variety of reasons given for Trump's secret service team being shorthanded. One, there had been many requests from the Trump staff for more protection and went unheeded by the Biden administration. Two, some of Trump's social security agents or secret service agents were reassigned to Jill Biden, who had a function in Pittsburgh that same day. And three, Biden appointed Kimberly Cheadle, a woke diversity activist, to head the secret service.
