Was the Secret Service given orders to stand down before the assassination attempt on Donald Trump?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Secret Service Stood Down Before Trump Assassination Attempt!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that the WEF just declared the bird flu as an international pandemic!
Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Secret Service Given ‘Stand Down’ Orders Before Trump Assassination Attempt
Shortly after Saturday’s attempted assassination of Donald Trump, eyewitnesses and videos reveal that the Secret Service were given ‘stand down’ orders to allow the rooftop shooter to carry out the hit.

Truth : Secret Service Did Not Stand Down Before Trump Assassination Attempt!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Secret Service Did Not Stand Down
Let me start by simply pointing out that the Secret Service did not stand down before the assassination attempt was made on Donald Trump. There is also no evidence that the Secret Service received orders to stand down, and allow the shooter to carry out the hit.
If that actually happened, it would have been widely reported by the mainstream media all over the world, and condemned by people on both sides of the political divide. Yet none of that happened because it was all made up!
In fact, the Secret Service had two heavily armed teams at the rally to protect Donald Trump – the counter-assault team with a code name of “Hawkeye” to eliminate threats so other agents can shield and take Trump away, and the counter-sniper team known as “Hercules” which is armed with long-range binoculars and sniper rifles.
Unsurprisingly, the The People’s Voice article did not provide any evidence to back up its “fact checked” claim that the Secret Services were given ‘stand down’ orders to allow the rooftop shooter to carry out the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Fact #2 : Shooter Was Killed By The Secret Service
I should also point out that it was a Secret Service sniper that shot and killed the shooter, who was later identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks.
That would not have happened if the Secret Service was given orders to stand down, and allow the shooter to open fire on Donald Trump.

Fact #3 : Trump Was Rushed Off Stage By Secret Service
Photos and videos of the event also show the Secret Service detail shielding and rushing Donald Trump off the stage. They clearly show that the Secret Service detail protecting Trump did not “stand down” as alleged.
Fact #4 : Bystander Reported Shooter To The Police
A bystander, Greg Smith, told BBC he witnessed Thomas Matthew Crooks crawling up the top of the building with a rifle, and pointed him out to the police, minutes before he shot at Donald Trump.
We noticed the guy bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50ft away. He had a rifle, we could clearly see a rifle.
We’re pointing at him, the police are down there running around on the ground, we’re like ‘Hey man, there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle’… and the police did not know what was going on.
Smith said he tried to alert the police for 3-4 minutes, but said he thought they probably could not see the shooter, because of the slope of the roof. Law enforcement sources confirmed the eyewitness report, and said that “officers lost track of [the gunman] before the shooting began”.
It is important to note that Smith only alerted the police, not the Secret Service. They also did not ignore him, but simply could not see the gunman before he started shooting.

Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:
- Are vaccinated corpses emitting radio waves linked to Bill Gates?!
- Did his family admit Joe Biden was replaced by body double?!
- Did Zhang Zhijie Drop Dead Mid-Game From Heart Attack?!
- Does Germany require citizens to pledge allegiance to Israel?!
- Are Democrats switching from Biden to Michelle Obama?!
- Did WEF Develop AI Tech To Eliminate Non-Compliant Humans?!
- Did LAPD Say Matthew Perry Was Murdered By His Friends?!
- Did ICC issue arrest warrants for Covid crimes against humanity?!
