The calls for enhanced security arrive amid increasing concerns over threats from Iran, which American officials have stated are still active in plotting to harm the former president. Trump campaign advisers have even advised the former president that they have received intelligence updates warning of the ongoing threat posed by Iran.
Reports strongly suggest that Iranian elements are planning to launch drones or missiles to take down Trump.
Trump's campaign has asked for military vehicles to be used to transport the former president following at least two assassination attempts in the past four months. The campaign has also asked for widened flight restrictions over Trump's properties and rally venues, as well as the pre-positioning of ballistic glass in rally sites at seven key battleground states.
A report mentioned that Susie Wiles, the campaign manager for Trump, directly contacted Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe Jr. concerning security flaws.
Wiles stated that a recent public event had to be canceled at the last moment because of the lack of Secret Service personnel, requiring Trump to meet with reporters in a closed setting instead.
The Trump campaign has shown frustration over the allegedly insufficient protections it is receiving, claiming that the lack of security is affecting the planning of future events.
Secret Service spokesman assures former president is receiving the highest levels of protection
Meanwhile, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi released a statement assuring that the former president is receiving "the highest levels of protection."
"The former president is receiving the highest level of technical security assets, which include unmanned aerial vehicles, counter unmanned aerial surveillance systems, ballistics and other advanced technology systems," Guglielmi said.
He also stated that the Department of Defense regularly assists in Trump's protection along with explosive ordnance disposal, canine units and airlift transportation.
Guglielmi added the Secret Service has been limiting air traffic over the former president's residence and when he travels.
The Trump campaign has been lobbying the Secret Service for extra protections for the former president since the first attempt against his life in July at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet scraped Trump's ear.
After this incident, the campaign has asked to travel with additional planes and to use aircraft that do not have Trump's name displayed, in an effort to reduce his profile.
On the ground, Trump's motorcades are also occasionally divided as an additional security measure.
In light of perceived attempts by the federal government to prevent additional security resources from being diverted to Trump's campaign, the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris has been accused of election interference.
The Biden-Harris administration said it is examining what additional supplementary measures can be given to meet the Trump campaign's requests for extra protection. (Related: Trump accuses Biden-Harris admin of committing ELECTION INTERFERENCE by depriving him of security.)
