<p>Just a few months before Saturday&#8217;s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, a House Democrat introduced a bill that would strip Trump of his Secret Service protection if he is sentenced to prison.</p>
<p>Representative Bennie Thompson (D-MS) <a href="https://democrats-homeland.house.gov/news/legislation/ranking-member-thompson-introduces-legislation-to-ensure-no-secret-service-protection-for-convicted-felons-sentenced-to-prison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> the &#8220;Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act&#8221; or the &#8220;DISGRACED Former Protectees Act.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://democrats-homeland.house.gov/imo/media/doc/disgraced_former_protectees_act_text.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bill</a> would automatically terminate Secret Service protection for anyone convicted of a felony and sentenced to prison. Prison authorities would be responsible for their safety rather than the Secret Service.</p>
<p>Thompson introduced the bill back in April, more than a month before Trump was convicted of 34 charges in the hush money case relating to porn performer Stormy Daniels.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, current law doesn’t anticipate how Secret Service protection would impact the felony prison sentence of a protectee — even a former President,&#8221; Thompson said in a statement at the time.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Therefore, it is necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment — and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time required of them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thompson also grabbed headlines over the weekend after one of his staffers <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/07/14/us-news/dem-staffer-axed-over-post-wishing-trump-shooter-had-lessons/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on social media that she hoped the gunman who shot Trump in his ear “wouldn’t miss next time.”</p>
<p>“I don’t condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time ooops that wasn’t me talking,” Jacqueline Marsaw, Thompson&#8217;s field director, wrote on Facebook Saturday evening shortly after the assassination attempt on Trump.</p>
<p>Marsaw also wrote that the shooting “couldn’t [have] happened to a nicer fellow,” although she also called it “staged.”</p>
<p>“That’s what your hate speech got you!” she wrote.</p>
<p>Thompson later confirmed that Marsaw was no longer working for him.</p>
<p>At a Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a gunman attempted to assassinate Trump from a nearby rooftop, firing a bullet that grazed the former president’s ear before the Secret Service evacuated Trump.</p>
<p>Law enforcement returned fire immediately, killing the shooter. At least one rallygoer was killed, and two others were injured.</p>
<p>Footage of the incident showed Trump ducking behind the podium before being escorted away by the Secret Service with blood on his ear and face. He raised his fist as he left and shouted &#8220;Fight!&#8221; to the crowd.</p>
<p>Thompson is the current ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee and previously chaired the House January 6th Committee.</p>
<p>The Secret Service bill was co-sponsored by Representatives Troy Carter (D-LA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Frederica Wilson (D-FL), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Joyce Beatty (D-OH), and Steve Cohen (D-TN).</p>
