White House Convenes Meeting To Discuss 'protocol' After Whcd Shooting
Chief of staff Susie Wiles will convene a meeting with the White House operations team, U.S. Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security leadership early this week to discuss “protocol and practices” for major events involving President Donald Trump, according to a senior White House official.
The official, granted anonymity to describe the meeting, pointed to the slew of upcoming events planned for America 250.
“The meeting will discuss the processes and procedures that worked to stop Saturday’s attempt, while exploring additional options to ensure all relevant components are doing everything possible to secure the many major events planned for President Trump in the months ahead as he gears up to celebrate America 250,” the official said.
The meeting comes after a suspected gunman stormed Saturday’s White House Correspondent’s Dinner, where the president, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and a number of top administration officials were in attendance. The suspect was taken down by law enforcement before making it into the ballroom, but the incident raised questions about the event’s security.
The senior official said both the president and the White House stand by Secret Service leadership, adding that Trump has said he “thinks they did an excellent job neutralizing the shooter and moving the President, First Lady, Vice President and Cabinet to safety.”
