Hawley explained in a Friday exchange with Fox News host Sean Hannity that he tried to visit the fateful spot in Butler, Pennsylvania, where at least one shooter attempted to assassinate Trump, but was ordered by the Bureau to leave.

"Today, when I went to the site, the FBI has got more security on that site now than they did the night that Trump was shot at," Hawley said.

"And they're trying to control the information. Sean, they tried to kick me off of the site. They said 'Get outta here, you shouldn't be on this site, we don't want you here.'"

"They brought local cops Sean, get this — I'm there onsite, I had permission from the local security operator to be there and the FBI came out and said, 'You have got to leave. We do not want you here,'" he added.

The Arkansas senator was simply probing the security lapses at the site that led to the shooter to be able to take several shots at the former president and how several eyewitnesses got the jump on the would-be assassin before the authorities did.

Hawley on Friday also sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas revealing he'd been hearing from whistleblowers within the DHS exposing the fact that most of Trump's security detail that day were NOT, in fact, Secret Service personnel.

"Whistleblowers who have direct knowledge of the event have approached my office," Hawley wrote.

According to the allegations, the July 13 rally was considered to be a 'loose' security event. For example, detection canines were not used to monitor entry and detect threats in the usual manner. Individuals without proper designations were able to gain access to backstage areas. Department personnel did not appropriately police the security buffer around the podium and were also no stationed at regular intervals around the event's security perimeter.
