The Department of Defense (DOD) is providing the U.S. Secret Service with "extra support" after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

The DOD is providing additional assistance, including logistics, transportation, and communications, to the Secret Service through the 2024 campaign season, according to Anthony Guglielmi, U.S. Secret Service chief of communications.

Since the events of July 13, the agency has strengthened its protective operations to guarantee the utmost levels of safety and security, as stated by Guglielmi.

Guglielmi stated that the U.S. Secret Service values the unwavering dedication of its military partners and their ongoing assistance in maintaining the highest level of security for the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates and their families.

The rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, was filled with local police and Secret Service agents.

The resignation of Kimberly Cheatle, director of the Secret Service, was due to a startling security breach.

The DOD stated that they had no further details to share when contacted by Planet Chronicle Digital.
