Trump Security under the spotlight after the assassination and threats of Charlie Kirk

The security of President Donald Trump is under the spotlight following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk – just a year after two assassination attempts against the president.

While the secret services have sparked a multitude of changes to the agency to prevent another assassination attempt to the president in the past year, the president is constantly threatened. And it is ready to visit a huge stadium on Sunday for the commemorative service of Kirk, which is a fertile land for more threats.

Trump is expected to attend the commemorative service of Kirk at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The place has the capacity to accommodate 63,400 people and can accommodate up to 73,000 for “Mega-Events”, according to its website.

A senior administration official confirmed to Fox News Digital on Friday that federal law enforcement organizations, including the Ministry of Internal Security, distributed a report Thursday warning that they were monitoring “several threats of unknown credibility” against Trump, vice-president JD Vance and others providing for the Kirk commemorative service.

The evaluation says that the memorial can be an attractive target for violent extremists or solitary wolf players due to the important media coverage it should attract.

Tim Miller, who was a secret service agent during the presidents George HW Bush and Bill Clinton’s administrations, said that the secret services knew that the “threat photo” has probably never been higher for any other president and will offer the highest level of protection possible during the commemorative event.

“The secret services will never underestimate the potential threats of these events,” Fox News Digital Miller, who is now heading Lionheart International Services Group, told Fox News, who offers security support and training at Fox News Digital. “They will provide exactly the amount of security required to ensure the highest level of security, especially since the event where Charlie Kirk died was an outdoor event.”

In addition to attending the memorial, Trump should share certain remarks.

“It’s going to be big,” Trump told journalists on Monday. “I’m going to be at the stadium, and I suppose I will say a few words. I don’t know, but I guess I will do it, but I knew him very well. He was an incredible guy. He was all about young people and start them.”

The White House requires an increase in security of $ 58 million in the wake of Kirk assassination

Kirk, 31, was shot dead during a stop during his American return tour on Wednesday at the University of Utah Valley. Although Kirk did not receive a security detail for the secret service for the big event like Trump at each outing, his death, as well as the assassination attempts on Trump in 2024, amplifying pressure on the agency to improve his skills.

“After yesterday, I am sure that each secret service agent recognizes that every day they go to work could be day,” said Miller on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the assassination prompted the White House to continue funding for additional security to protect the president. The White House responded to an additional $ 58 million security financing for the executive and judicial branches of the Congress, spokesperson for the White House Management and Budget Office, confirmed on Monday at Fox News Digital.

Additional funds would be nailed to a continuous resolution, said the spokesperson. Legislators must adopt a measure of spending to keep the government open, if not a government closure could occur when the funds expire on September 30.

No additional details were provided and the office did not respond to a request for comments from Fox News Digital.

Efforts are also underway in Capitol Hill to improve the security of legislators, and the Senate approved Thursday a new change of rule which would allow the legislators to pay the bill for personal security measures using official office funds.

Meanwhile, the White House implemented locations that would provide Trump greater security, directly after Kirk’s death.

A White House official confirmed to Fox News Digital that Trump’s speech at the Pentagon to commemorate terrorist attacks on September 11 was moved inside due to an “abundance of prudence”.

Meanwhile, the secret services worked at the most increased levels after the two assassination attempts against Trump last year.

“The secret services must now play at an increased level of security that they have never dreamed before,” Miller told Fox News Digital on Thursday. “I think that (the director of secret services Sean Curran) is doing a good job to direct this effort.”

“But here is the bad news for the secret services: they don’t have time,” said Miller. “This threat is now. Can you imagine-they have already shot our president once. Can you imagine if they are able to kill him?”

The White House did not comment at Fox News Digital to find out if reinforced security would be in place during Kirk funeral.

The secret services did not respond to a request for Fox News Digital Comments on Safety in Commemorative Service. The agency previously extended its sympathies to the Kirk family, but has not commented on specific changes to the details of Trump’s security in response to Kirk’s death.

“The security and security of our protectors is the top priority of the United States,” a spokesperson for the secret service in Fox News Digital said. “President Trump receives the highest levels of the protection of American secret services and the agency adjusts our protection posture if necessary to alleviate evolutionary threats. For the sake of operational security, we cannot discuss the means and methods used for our protection operations.”
