They are still lying, it was a peaceful protest.
We still don't know who ordered this.
Who's been reprimanded & or fired for lying?
Secret Service now says it did use pepper spray to clear protesters during the Trump church photo op
The Secret Service's statement is the latest reversal from law enforcement agencies about what occurred in the moments leading up to President Donald Trump's walk outside the White House gates.
“On June 5, the U.S. Secret Service released information that the agency had concluded that no agency personnel used tear gas or capsicum spray during efforts to secure the area near Lafayette Park on Monday, June 1, based on the record and information available at that time,” the Secret Service said in a statement shared on Twitter.
“Since that time, the agency has learned that one agency employee used capsicum spray (i.e., pepper spray) during that effort,” the statement continued.
The Secret Service said that the agent used pepper spray “in response to an assaultive individual.”
The Secret Service statement is the latest reversal from a law enforcement agency on what happened on the evening of June 1 outside the White House grounds. Statements from law enforcement officials have frequently contradicted what protesters and on-the-ground reporters say happened and what many people witnessed happen on live TV.
Just days after the incident, a U.S. Park Police spokesperson said it was a “mistake” to say in an earlier statement that the agency did not use tear gas to clear peaceful protesters, while another Park Police official continued to insist the chemical was never used.
Attorney General William Barr initially told reporters that he had personally ordered the advance on protesters, but later backpedaled that claim saying he did not give a command to disperse the crowd though he did support the decision to do so.
