MILWAUKEE – The Secret Service will make no changes to security at the Republican National Convention in the aftermath of an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, the agency said Sunday.
“We are confident in the plans that we have and are moving forward with those plans,” Audrey Gibson-Cicchino, the Secret Service’s RNC convention coordinator, told reporters.
Trump, 78, will arrive in Milwaukee on Sunday ahead of the four-day convention during which he will be formally named the Republican nominee for president.
Earlier in the day, President Biden announced that he had directed the Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to “review all security measures” for the GOP convention in light of the shooting at a Trump rally Saturday that left the former president bloodied, one rally-goer dead and two more injured.
“That security plan will remain in place,” Gibson-Cicchino said, referencing the current security footprint, which will allow armed protesters to enter a so-called “soft perimeter” near the convention site.
Closer to Fiserv Forum, where Trump and other GOP pols will address delegates, a “hard” perimeter has been set up by the Secret Service, restricting those parts of downtown Mikwaukee to only credentialed convention attendees.
RNC officials and the Secret Service have spent 18 months making security preparations for the thousands of delegates, politicians, press and protesters that have already descended on the Midwestern city for the conference, which starts on Monday.

Trump. Bring in your own security. The secret service is compromised and can not be trusted. They failed last time, they might fail the next time (and I do believe they will try again)
Bongino kept Obama alive. A guy he didn’t like. Imagine how hard he would work to keep Trump a man he loves alive
This must be from The Bee.
I wonder how many back doors and side doors will be left unprotected at the RNC.

They will be left for the incompetent Milwaukee police to guard. Milwaukee, where in an emergency help is a hour away.
“The secret Service is under the Treasury department....Janet Yellen.”

Effective March 1, 2003, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, the United States Customs Service, and the United States Secret Service were transferred to the newly created Department of Homeland Security (”DHS”).
Thanks.
Mayorkas is evil.
How about “I’m still standing”.🤔
I guess that the director feels like most pilots that “If you walk away from a crash it was a good landing”.
