"It's the third time in less than two years that a gunman has come uncomfortably close to Trump, renewing the central tension over how to accommodate the public-facing demands of the president's office while minimizing the risk of an attack."
"White House chief of staff Susie Wiles will hold a meeting this week with officials from the White House operations team, the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security to discuss security protocol at events with the president."
"The agency's posture was already elevated due to the extraordinary number of threats facing Trump - including two back-to-back assassination attempts in 2024 - and the realities of recent events such as the U.S.-Iran war."
""I can't imagine that there's any profession that is more dangerous," Trump said of the presidency Saturday night from the White House."
Federal law enforcement is evaluating security measures for upcoming public events involving President Trump following a recent attack at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. This incident marks the third close call with a gunman in two years, raising concerns about balancing public engagement with safety. A meeting will be held to review successful security steps and explore additional options. The Secret Service is also reassessing its security posture due to numerous threats, including assassination attempts and geopolitical tensions.
