How and why were these decisions made, and how great of a threat did the President and the press face? FOX’s Gurnal Scott speaks with Charles A. Marino, a former DHS adviser and a former Secret Service special agent, and author of the book 'Terrorists On The Border And In Our Country', who says disinformation and misinformation are important tools to keep the President safe.
