Security expert Brian Cavanaugh says former President Donald Trump was \\u201ca gust of wind away\\u201d from being assassinated on July 13th. 

\\u201cTo have a round pierce your ear, which is attached to your head, we\'re talking less than two millimeters away,\\u201d says Cavanaugh, a senior vice president at American Global Strategies. 

For a bullet to come so close to taking the former president\\u2019s life, Cavanaugh said it causes one to think Trump was saved through \\u201cdivine intervention.\\u201d 

Cavanaugh formerly served as executive director for Strategic Planning and Integration for the Department of Homeland Security\\u2019s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office. During a conversation with \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last week, Cavanaugh assessed the security failures of the Secret Service following the attemp on the former president\\u2019s life during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 33 miles north of Pittsburgh. 

The building that the shooter targeted Trump from was about 150 yards away from the stage where Trump was speaking, according to Cavanaugh, who called it \\u201cabsolutely baffling\\u201d that the building was not part of the Secret Service\\u2019s inner security perimeter. 

Kimberly Cheatle, director of the Secret Service, will testify before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, amid calls for her resignation following the attempt on Trump\\u2019s life. 

On today\\u2019s episode of \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast,\\u201d Cavanaugh details what is known about the security breakdown at the rally and whether blame does fall on the head of the Secret Service for Trump\\u2019s near assassination.
