The United States Secret Service has increased protection of former President Donald Trump in recent weeks due to intelligence suggesting a possible plot by Iran to attempt an assassination on the former president.
Fox News reported it was informed by two federal law enforcement sources that the level of the plot by Iran is unclear.
According to the report, sources said there has been an increase in Secret Service protection for Trump in recent weeks because of the intelligence.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service have been increasingly worried about Trump holding outdoor events, and have even expressed concern to Trump’s campaign.
The former president has been increasingly targeted since Soleimani’s killing in January 2020, but the new threat only developed over the past few days.
