The U.S. Intelligence Community in recent weeks have allegedly picked up a credible threat from the Iranian regime about a plot to assassinate former President Trump.

According to Fox News, U.S. authorities were warned about the alleged assassination plot weeks before the deadly shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Two government sources told Fox that the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service and others in the Intelligence Community received intel on the alleged plot  through a “very good human source.”

The alleged Iranian plot does not seem at this point to be related to Thomas Matthew Crooks’ assassination attempt.

DHS claims that in response to the increased threat, Secret Service protection at Trump’s outdoor rallies was beefed up.

However,  the Biden regime’s advance knowledge of a credible Iranian threat does not track with the level of protection Trump received at his rally in Pennsylvania.

“It does pose the question, if security was increased to former President Trump because of this alleged plot out of Iran, how did this happen on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania?” Fox News’ Justice Department correspondent David Spunt said during a televised report on the breaking news.

“Why would you leave the roof uncovered if you knew–had concerns about the president’s security? It’s mind-boggling!” Fox anchor John Roberts exclaimed.

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) is challenging the Biden regime’s claim that Trump’s Secret Service detail was increased in recent weeks, telling Fox on Tuesday that agents directly involved with protecting Trump were “frustrated, angry and upset” about his lack of adequate protection.

Waltz said they repeatedly asked U.S.S.S. headquarters for more resources for Trump’s detail and were denied.

“And then [DHS Secretary] Mayorkas goes on CNN and says Congressman Waltz is irresponsible and that’s false. Which he is saying essentially his own agents are wrong,” the former Green Beret Commander said, adding: “we will get to the bottom of it.”

House Republicans have launched an investigation into the near assassination of Trump and have asked Secret Service Chief Kimberly Cheatle to testify before the Oversight Committee.

“I give nothing but credit for his those in the detail [who] put their lives on the line,” Waltz said. “I suspect strongly this was a headquarters resources issue, who said we’re not going to get all these agents for all of his rallies. We’re not going to exhaust our budget.”

Waltz also slammed Biden for not firing Cheatle after her monumental failure to protect Trump at his rally Saturday.

“[There was] no accountability for Afghanistan, no accountability for the Defense Secretary disappearing, and no accountability for this,” he said.
