Former President Donald Trump was briefly delayed by Secret Service agents from taking the stage at a conference in Nashville Saturday because of another security lapse, The Post has learned.

The hold up was caused by two individuals who made their way around metal detectors inside the Music City Center where the 2024 Bitcoin conference was held shortly after 3:30 p.m., according to law enforcement sources.

The GOP nominee was set to give the keynote address, but was instructed by his security detail to wait until the individuals were located, according to sources.

After the two people were tracked down, they were ejected from the event and questioned, sources said. Neither person has been criminally charged.

The two did get stopped at an initial checkpoint before they bypassed the second screening, sources said.

It’s unclear how they got past the screening and what, if any, blame falls on the Secret Service for the security lapse.

The Secret Service did not immediately respond with a request for comment.  

An email to the Trump campaign was also not immediately returned.

The latest security slip-up came around two weeks after Trump was grazed by a sniper’s bullet during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in a failed assassination attempt.

The shooting has led to enormous criticism and scrutiny against the Secret Service as lawmakers have pushed for more answers from the federal agency as to what went wrong in Pennsylvania.

Former Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle resigned from her post last week amid the firestorm.
