Republican lawmakers are urging the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide transparency regarding the protection of whistleblowers in the ongoing investigation into the two assassination attempts against former President Trump. Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson expressed concerns after whistleblowers disclosed that Secret Service employees were required to sign nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) to access briefings on 'sensitive reporting' related to their work protecting Trump.
Photos shared in the letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas showed screenshots of NDAs sent to Secret Service agents. The senators are now requesting information on the scope of the NDAs and whether employees were mandated to sign statutorily-required anti-gag language.
