White House chief of staff Susie Wiles will hold a meeting early this week to discuss security protocols at events involving President Donald Trump. The meeting will include officials from the White House operations team, the Secret Service, and the Department of Homeland Security.
The decision comes after a shooting occurred Saturday near a gathering of journalists and administration officials at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. The incident has led to fresh scrutiny of current security practices.
The discussion will examine safety measures as the president prepares for a summer filled with high-profile public events. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday that adjustments will be made to protect the president if necessary.
During a press briefing on Monday, Leavitt also condemned negative comments and rhetoric directed at President Trump.
