The state of Wisconsin is key to the presidential election and both former President Donald Trump and Democrat presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, have been working to get the state’s votes.

But, the former president said that the Secret Service had him downsize a venue for his rally because they were busy protecting the Iranian president who is in the United States for meetings at the United Nations.

“We were going to have a thing outside someplace in an area where we could have held the people and I would say what do you think, 40,000, 50,000 people at least out there…thousands and thousands of people and they all could have had a lot of fun,” the former president said.

“Instead, now they’re probably leaving and walking back home because we have a nice little room that probably holds 1,500, 2000, maybe less, and outside you have 40,000 or 50,000 people because the administration couldn’t give us the Secret Service necessary because they’re guarding the Iranian president who’s looking to kill Trump,” he said.

Staff shortages at the Secret Service did cause the former president to have to move the rally, CBS News reported.

It confirmed that the Secret Service was busy protecting dignitaries at the United Nations, but did not specifically mention the Iranian president.

A senior Secret Service said the agency was “never configured to provide such an elevated level of protection for an increasing number of protected.”

“Our personnel and equipment are being pushed to their limits to sustain the current operational tempo,” the official said, on the condition of anonymity. “This proposed Wisconsin event also took place during the United Nations General Assembly, where the Secret Service is responsible for the safety and security of over 140 world leaders amid a challenged global threat level.”

Another whistleblower has come forward with shocking new details regarding the July assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pa.

Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley spoke to Fox News host Jesse Watters and revealed what he has been told this week.

“What I’m learning now is that the lead advance agent, that day in Pennsylvania, this is the agent that was in charge of Trump’s entire trip in Pennsylvania, that this agent actually failed one or more of her training exams when she first joined the Secret Service,” the senator said.

“The pattern that is emerging here from whistleblowers who come forward to me now over and over again is that the Trump rally was undermanned, it was understaffed, They did not have people who had experience on it. And now this advance agent, I’m told, may have failed one or more training exams and was known not to be a top-quality agent. This is absurd. The fact that the director will not level with the American people about what’s going on here is just totally unacceptable and unbelievable,” he said.

The host mentioned that former Director Kimberly Cheatle had a plan to increase the number of women in the Secret Service by 30 percent and appeared determined to meet that goal.

“Director Cheatle, we know, had a priority to make 30% of the Secret Service women. So this woman fails maybe once, maybe twice, maybe more, and it doesn’t matter. Cheatle still makes her in charge of the protective site detail for Butler, knowing that there was an Iranian threat,” he said.

That created more questions for the senator who said it was inexplicable that this particular woman was in charge of the former president’s protection on that day.

“This is what’s so hard to understand. If this individual had failed one or more of her training exams, if she was known not to be really one of the Secret Service’s top agents, she’s in the Pittsburgh office. Why was she put in charge of the entire trip?” the senator said.
