Congressman Matt Gaetz warns that a senior DHS official told him there are at least five “assassination teams” inside the United States targeting Donald Trump.

Gaetz made the comments after gunman Ryan Routh tried to kill the former president after hiding in the bushes for nearly 12 hours outside Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

Routh somehow knew where Trump would be to within 500 yards despite the round of golf not being on the former president’s schedule and the decision to play being last minute.

Florida Republican Rep. Gaetz told the Real America’s Voice podcast that even before the second assassination attempt, he was given some shocking news.

“I had a senior official from the Department of Homeland Security in my office before the second assassination attempt saying what he has assessed is that there are five known assassination teams in the United States, three inspired by other governments, two that are here that are known domestic assassination teams,” said Gaetz.

The Congressman added that the official told him of his concerns about that the force protection team around Trump was totally inadequate.

“The coordination at that level, the dignitary protection level is like the bare minimum that we have to do to keep our presidents, our presidential candidates safe while they’re out there on the trail,” said Gaetz.

The Congressman emphasized that the five assassination teams are solely “targeting Trump” and not just any prominent political figure.

“So that raises real questions about why certain teams were being pulled off of the Trump detail and being put on for example the Jill Biden detail,” said Gaetz, noting that the threat against Jill Biden was substantially lower than the threat posed to Trump.

Gaetz said it didn’t make sense that requests for more security around Trump were being denied while resources were being allocated to far less prominent individuals like John Bolton.

As we highlighted earlier, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis told Fox News that the feds were blocking his state investigation into the second assassination attempt and withholding information.
