The U.S. Secret Service is confident in the security plan put in place for the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee this week in the wake of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13, the agency’s director said in a statement.
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said in the July 15 statement that additional security enhancements were provided to former President Trump’s security detail in June and that the agency has implemented changes since the assassination attempt to “ensure his continued protection for the convention and the remainder of the campaign.”
