Donald Trump Jr suspiciously reinstates his Secret Service protection just one week after giving it up

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens.

When it was revealed barely a week ago that Donald Trump Jr was giving up his Secret Service protection due to a lame “privacy” excuse that inexplicably involved hunting and fishing, we called it out as being incredibly suspicious. This came just after Junior had testified before Congress in his father’s Russia scandal, among other notable incidents. Sure enough, it’s already become clear that something underhanded was behind the move.

Now, after just one week of going without Secret Service protection, Donald Trump Jr is already reinstating his protection, according to reporting from CNN and other outlets (link). This of course raises the question of why Junior felt the need to shake his protection detail for this specific one-week period. Earlier in the Trump-Russia scandal, we learned that Secret Service agents are required to testify about anything they witness their protectee doing. So what was Junior trying to hide from the agents so they wouldn’t be able to testify about it later? Let’s take a look at what he might have wanted to keep under the radar.

For instance, just two days after Donald Trump Jr ditched his Secret Service protection, Paul Manafort’s Russian benefactor and Donald Trump both arrived in New Jersey nearly simultaneously (link). Was Junior somehow involved with whatever was going on up in Bedminster that weekend? Speaking of Paul Manafort, no one among the media and the public even knows whether or not he left the country for the Kurdistan independence vote in Iraq on Monday. Was Junior somehow tied up in that?

These are the kinds of questions that get asked when the President’s son abruptly relinquishes his Secret Service protection and reinstates it just as mysteriously a week later. Donald Trump Jr is acting more suspiciously by the day. When you consider that this is the guy who met with Russian government representatives during the campaign to try to get dirt on Hillary Clinton, his every move must now be scrutinized.
