Pat Fallon Discusses Security Risks for Trump

In a recent interview, Texas Representative Pat Fallon, a member of the bipartisan task force investigating threats against Donald Trump, expressed deep concerns regarding the security measures of the Secret Service following assassination attempts on the former president. Fallon reacted critically to the court appearance of Ryan Ruth, who has been accused of attempting to murder Trump, stating, 'the letter that was just found really is very damning,' suggesting that Ruth deserves life imprisonment. Evidence against Ruth includes cell phone data placing him near Trump's residence and golf course multiple times prior to his arrest. Fallon questioned whether the Secret Service learned any lessons from past assassination attempts and asserted that their failure to check the perimeter could have had dire consequences. Switching focus, Fallon addressed the Biden administration's recent cybersecurity measures targeting software and hardware in connected cars from countries deemed threats. He labeled China's actions, including surveillance balloons and cyber hacking, as aggressive and indicative of a growing geopolitical competitor. He critiqued the current administration's perceived inaction over the past three and a half years, arguing that it comes too late and hinted at a preference for a return to Trump's leadership for improved security in the Pacific Theater.
