The Washington Hilton has a unique design intended for presidential security, featuring a special entrance for the president and a dedicated holding room with a presidential seal engraved on the floor.

"As far as what happened with him coming down and breaching the perimeter, as you've seen from some videos that have already been released, he was apprehended and subdued feet away from breaking the perimeter, so we were all safe inside, and that's a testament to the Secret Service doing their job," Blanche said on CBS' Face the Nation.

In one moment, Kai Trump said that she will have to "file for bankruptcy" after learning about a store-branded sweater that costs $165. The ultra-luxe grocery chain in the Los Angeles area is known for its remarkably high-priced products, such as $22 smoothies and $13 Medjool dates.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent condemned Democrats on Sunday and said their rhetoric is putting President Donald Trump's life in danger, shortly after an armed man breached the security perimeter at Mar-a-Lago before he was shot and killed by law enforcement. They are normalizing this violence. It's gotta stop, Bessent said during an appearance on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News. He told anchor Maria Bartiromo a moment later, This venom from the left really has to stop. They normalize this violence.

Ivanka Trump wasn't the only rich and famous person to head to the posh and snowy mountain town of Aspen, Colorado, to celebrate the Christmas holidays. But according to a report, President Donald Trump's daughter and her family were the only visitors to arrive with a contingent of Secret Service agents that was so large that it put the village and its nearby ski slopes into full-blown security lockdown much to the dismay of others hoping to enjoy the long weekend.

It seemed no more than a curious footnote-a counterfeiter so outlandishly inept that his forged dollar bills were detectable even at a casual glance. Nearly all were emblazoned with a telltale flaw: the name of America's first President was spelled "Wahsington." The scammer, who operated in the New York area from 1938 to 1948, was known to the often exasperated agents of the U.S. Secret Service as No. 880, for the number of his case file.

A Secret Service SUV caught fire on Monday morning just a couple of blocks away from the White House. Black smoke was seen emanating from the vehicle as it sat at the intersection of 18th St. NW and Pennsylvania Ave, less than half a mile away from the White House, just ahead of President Donald Trump's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Due to the sheer scale of the infrastructure of this single SIM farm-and the fact that it reportedly came onto the Secret Service's radar after it was exploited in "swatting" attacks that targeted US members of Congress around Christmas of 2023-the agency has warned that the operation, which has been at least partially dismantled, posed a serious threat of a disruptive attack on cellular service.

The US Secret Service says it has disrupted a network of devices used to carry out assassination threats against US officials and for anonymous communications between threat actors, according to a report from NBC News. In the Tuesday announcement, the agency revealed that it uncovered the network within a 35-mile radius of the United Nations General Assembly, which started this week.

It can't be understated what this system is capable of doing," said Matt McCool, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service's New York field office. "It can take down cell towers, so then no longer can people communicate, right? .... You can't text message, you can't use your cell phone. And if you coupled that with some sort of other event associated with UNGA, you know, use your imagination there, it could be catastrophic to the city."

The Secret Service said on Tuesday that it had uncovered and dismantled a covert, high-tech operation in the New York area, which had the capability to disrupt cellular networks. The discovery came as international leaders were preparing to attend the annual United Nations General Assembly nearby, the New York Times reported. Authorities revealed that the hidden communications system included over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers. It was designed to allow anonymous, encrypted messaging and had the potential to interfere with emergency communication services.

The services of a life-preserving, ego-boosting retinue of intimidating protectors - picture dark glasses, earpiece, stern visage - were cited by more than one Harris associate, past and present, as a factor in her deliberations. These were not Trumpers or Harris haters looking to impugn or embarrass the former vice president. According to one of those associates, Harris has been accompanied nonstop by an official driver and person with a gun since 2003, when she was elected San Francisco district attorney.
