The special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Washington, D.C., field Office said Monday there is a higher threat environment for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20 that in previous years and that there will be a more robust security plan.

"What's different is we are in a higher threat environment," said Matt McCool at a news conference with Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser and other officials, according to a video posted on X.

The inauguration will be coming after D.C. had seen enhanced security measures following Congress' certification Jan. 6 of Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris and the state funeral for President Jimmy Carter on Thursday.

"Additional fencing and concrete barriers will supplement the fencing already around the Capitol for the election certification and President Carter's funeral," said McCool, who was named special agent in charge of the Secret Service's D.C. field office in July. "More than 30 miles of anti-scale fence will be used for the inauguration, more than any other NSSE [National Special Security Event] ever before.

"The Secret Service's comprehensive security plan will continue to use drones as part of our protective posture. Do not be alarmed if you see these assets during the inauguration or in training in the days ahead. The Secret Service will bring agents and other specialists from field offices across the country to provide a full slate of visible and invisible security measures. We work side-by-side with our partners...

Now they want us to believe they have always used drones, though there was seemingly no one who knew how to operate one at Butler, PA. It’s all so contrived. Nonetheless, I’m glad the SS has finally come of age on the value of drones and their use in commanding the high ground in providing security.

Oh, LORD, have mercy on him and us, and put a hedge of protection around him, and confound the enemy on his behalf, I pray, in the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen.

Swear him in at Mar-A-Lago and let him clean up the RAT-inspired shit hole from there until it’s safe to return to DC. Apparently, it’s not safe for him to be there. There’d be no shame in doing this given the current optics and stiuation that exists.

I hope President Trump has some private security and does not rely on the T-men and G-men.

“Trump Faces Elevated Security Threat For Inauguration”

I wouldn’t be surprised if their is another attempt. Why wouldn’t they try again? Double or triple the security detail.

Bongino is SO worried about Trump’s safety. He’s worried about drones. Says SS isn’t prepared or competent.

For the life of me, I don’t know why he didn’t appoint a SS Director at the very beginning.

Ronald Rowe is not trustworthy.

He needs the Virginia Sportsmen club with over unders and double buckshot.

With recycled plastic, orange vests of course.

President can award the whole chapter at a later date. Things are moving fast.

Bongino is particularly informed, expert and personally competent, he would know.

President Trump may have a reason for playing the SS card close to the vest.

He has retained additional security officers.

I wish Trump would just get sworn in at the White House in the Oval Office and have the TV cameras there. Much safer.
