Trump plans to stop holding outdoor rallies after assassination attempt
Two sources familiar with Trump campaign operations said that the plans are to hold indoor rallies for the foreseeable future.
Former President Donald Trump plans to stop holding outdoor rallies like the one where he was shot during an assassination attempt this month in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to two sources familiar with his campaign’s operations.
The sources said current plans are to hold indoor rallies, but they also said it's possible Trump will participate in smaller outdoor events or larger rallies in facilities where entrances are more fully controlled and there are not issues with high ground nearby, like stadiums.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung declined to comment on Trump’s security measures and referred questions to the Secret Service.
A spokesperson for the Secret Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night.
News of the shift in venues comes the day the director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, announced her resignation. In her resignation letter, Cheatle said she took “full responsibility for the security lapse” in Pennsylvania.
