Rep. Eli Crane says Secret Service seems to provide security only based on titles, not threats

Congressman Eli Crane, R-Ariz., said that a problem within the Secret Service is that they seem to be providing security based only on an individual's title and not on threats they receive. 

"I think one of the problems with the security within the Secret Service is that they're providing security based on people's titles and not based on the threats that the individuals under their umbrella of protection have towards them," Crane said on the John Solomon Reports podcast. 

Over the weekend there was a second assassination attempt against Trump while he was at  his course in West Palm Beach, Florida. 

The first was in July during a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. 

"It's clear as day to anybody that nobody has more threats to them than Donald Trump," Crane said. "So, [Secret Service] Director Rowe, you cannot keep hiding behind the fact that he's not the acting president. He has more threats against him, clearly, than anybody in the country right now."

The Secret Service has requested more funding following the assassination attempt.

Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe sent a letter to lawmakers on the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, saying the agency needed "additional resources" to keep up with their mission. 

"I would advise the President of the United States to beef up his private security detail that ... I believe he has so that he can have watchers that are loyal to him watching the watchers, in case they are leaking stuff," Crane said.
