More questions for the Secret service

With "riots" going on at the Capitol why was Trump not removed to a more secure location. I would think he would have been removed via helicopter or at least to the secure bunker. Now we all can guess why that didn't happen but the question needs to be asked and we need a truthful answer. I hope the committee has that on their question list because it's an answer that I want to hear.

It's my understanding he was watching things on TV in the White House itself not in a bunker. You would think that the Secret Service would have insisted he be moved to a secure area with "riots" going on at the Capitol if not remove him from the premises via helicopter. Something is very strange about that.

secure area from the insurrection taking place blocks away.

The White House is secure. There are armed, Marine guards at WH entry ways. trump was never in danger once he was taken away from the rally. In fact he was gleefully watching the coup attempt for hours on TV and hoping for its success.
