His public interview
According to his own statements, Shaffer gave a public interview providing "new details about how Integrity Security Solutions came to guard Kirk in the first place." In that interview he said he was "stabbed in the back."
His comments are reported here as his own characterization of events. The phrase "stabbed in the back" is his framing of a dispute, not a finding about any other party.
The last-minute rehiring question
Shaffer's account ties into a September 2025 Associated Press report and to statements suggesting the firm was rehired at the last minute for "specialized security." Researchers have pointed to this timing as raising transparency questions about how the detail was arranged.
These are open questions about process and disclosure, not proven wrongdoing. The reporting and Shaffer's statements are presented as the sources for what is known publicly.
Why this matters
If the firm was brought on at the last minute, critics argue that could help explain a setup widely described as lighter than Kirk's prior events. That connection is an inference drawn by commentators, not an established cause.
Shaffer's interview is one of the few first-person accounts from inside the security arrangement. It is documented here for that reason, with the caveat that disputes of this kind are inherently one-sided in public retelling.
