Secret Service agents are under investigation for abandoning their post while they were supposed to be guarding Donald Trump III, the president's grandson. 
 
 Trump III, who is the 8-year-old son of Donald Jr and Vanessa Trump, was in a car last weekend being driven by two Secret Service agents when the incident took place, according to Mother Jones. 
 
 The agents were driving him from Westchester County, New York, where the Trumps have an estate, back to Manhattan. 
 
 While in the car, Trump III fell asleep, as children do. Then, the Secret Service agents allegedly began taking selfies with the sleeping child.

 Trump's grandson woke up while the agents were taking selfies. He reportedly "freaked out," which I'd say is a good response to waking up to the people who are supposed to be protecting you instead taking pictures of you as you sleep. 
 
 Trump III got back to Manhattan and told his mother, Vanessa, about what had happened in the car. She told her husband, Donald Trump Jr, who, in turn, conveyed the incident to the Secret Service management. 
 
 The two agents had to report to Secret Service Office of Professional Responsibility in Washington DC.

 The Secret Service confirmed to Mother Jones they are "aware of a matter involving two of our agents and one of our protectees." 
 
 A spokesman for the Secret Service said, 
 
 Our Office of Professional Responsibility will always thoroughly review a matter to determine the facts and to ensure proper, long-standing protocols and procedures are followed. 
 
 The spokesman added people should not "jump to conclusions that may grossly mischaracterize the matter." This part was likely added because allegations of taking selfies with a sleeping child are generally not seen in a good light. 
 
 For a group of people supposed to be protecting the most important person in America and his or her family, the Secret Service has seen more than its fair share of scandals over the years. 
 
 Just this past week, an intruder was able to get past security onto White House grounds. 
 
 Of course, there are human errors, but something like taking selfies with the president's sleeping grandson seems pretty avoidable.

 Washington (CNN) President Trump's son is criticizing the mayor of London in the immediate aftermath of an attack in the city that killed four and wounded about 40 on the grounds of the UK Parliament. 
 
 Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., manages the Trump Organization and has no role in the White House, but he remains an occasional surrogate for his father. The younger Trump also occasionally calls out the President's political opponents on Twitter, the venue he chose Wednesday to weigh in on the incident in Britain. 
 
 You have to be kidding me?!: Terror attacks are part of living in big city, says London Mayor Sadiq Khan https://t.co/uSm2pwRTjO — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) March 22, 2017 
 
 "You have to be kidding me?!" Trump Jr. tweeted, as he shared an article from The Independent, and paraphrased its headline as: "Terror attacks are part of living in big city, says London Mayor Sadiq Khan" 
 
 The article, published in September 2016 , featured Khan's reaction to a bombing in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York. In it, Khan said that preparedness for terror attacks is "part and parcel of living in a big city," and asked Londoners to be correspondingly "vigilant."

 President Donald Trump's son has come under fire for criticising London's mayor, shortly after a terror attack on the UK capital killed three people. 
 
 Donald Trump Jr tweeted an article written last year, in which Sadiq Khan said terror vigilance had become "part and parcel" of life in a global city. 
 
 Mr Trump quoted the headline and tweeted: "You have to be kidding me?!" 
 
 He angered many Britons who accused him of exploiting the tragedy and implying the quotes were made after the attack. 
 
 Dozens were hurt in Wednesday's attack, when an assailant drove a car through pedestrians on Westminster Bridge and then fatally knifed a police officer who tried to stop him entering the Houses of Parliament. He was then shot dead. 
 
 Two hours later, Mr Trump tweeted an article from the Independent newspaper in September 2016.

 In the article, Mr Khan was speaking shortly before a meeting with New York Mayor Bill De Blasio, on the day after three bombs exploded in New York City and nearby towns, wounding 29 people. 
 
 The attacks had given him a sleepless night, he said, as he pondered the dangers faced by big Western cities like New York and London. 
 
 "Part and parcel of living in a great global city is you have to be prepared for these sorts of things, you have to be vigilant, you have to support the police doing an incredibly hard job, you have to support the security services," he said. 
 
 On Wednesday, after the attack in Westminster, the mayor said that Londoners "will never be cowed by terrorism" and that the city stood together in the face of those seeking it harm. 
 
 Mr Trump's tweet incensed many British people on Twitter, including MP Wes Streeting, who called him a "disgrace" for exploiting the tragedy.

 Mr Khan, London's first Muslim mayor, has previously clashed with Mr Trump's father, in January denouncing the US president's travel ban as "shameful and cruel". 
 
 Last year, he accused the then-candidate Trump of being "ignorant" about Islam. 
 
 Mr Trump responded by challenging the mayor to an IQ test. ||||| Donald Trump Jr is facing a backlash for criticizing London mayor Sadiq Khan with a scornful tweet sent hours after an attack at the Houses of Parliament left four dead, including a police officer.

 The US president’s eldest son tweeted a link to a September 2016 story in the Independent, which quoted Khan saying terror attacks were “part and parcel of living in a big city”, and “I want to be reassured that every single agency and individual involved in protecting our city has the resources and expertise they need to respond in the event that London is attacked.” 
 
 “You have to be kidding me?!” Trump Jr tweeted, quoting the headline: “Terror attacks are part of living in big city, says London Mayor Sadiq Khan”.

 It’s unclear if the president’s son read the article or understood that the quote was from six months ago and not a response to the Wednesday attack, which police are treating as a terrorist incident. 
 
 
 
 Authorities said five people died [see footnote], including a police officer stabbed by a lone attacker trying to enter the House of Commons. The suspect was fatally shot, and 29 people have been injured. 
 
 The tweet earned strong criticisms in the US and the UK, including from Wes Streeting, the MP for Ilford North and former president of the National Union of Students. 
 
 “You use a terrorist attack on our city to attack London’s Mayor for your own political gain. You’re a disgrace,” Streeting wrote. 
 
 Wes Streeting MP (@wesstreeting) @DonaldJTrumpJr You use a terrorist attack on our city to attack London's Mayor for your own political gain. You're a disgrace. 
 
 “Is this helpful @DonaldJTrumpJr?” tweeted Ciaran Jenkins, a correspondent with Channel 4 News. “Did you even read the article before goading London’s Mayor during a live incident?” 
 
 “Headline is based on very first sentence, which if you’d bothered to read it could apply to any major city in the world,” Jenkins added. 
 
 Others on Twitter pointed Trump Jr to Khan’s actual response to the attack on Wednesday, in which he said: “Londoners will never be cowed by terrorism.” 
 
 
 
 “I want to reassure all Londoners and all our visitors not to be alarmed. Our city remains one of the safest in the world. London is the greatest city in the world. And we stand together in the face of those who seek to harm us and destroy our way of life. We always have and we always will,” the mayor said. 
 
 Khan’s 2016 comments came after a bombing in New York City that injured 29 people. 
 
 This is not the first time Trump Jr has gotten into trouble for his tweets. In September, he compared Syrian refugees to poisoned Skittles, prompting widespread backlash. He also faced criticisms for sharing a white supremacist meme. 
 
 The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But later on Wednesday Trump Jr wrote in an email to the New York Times: “I’m not going to comment on every tweet I send.” 
 
 • This footnote was added on 23 March 2017: Authorities said on 22 March that five people had died, including the attacker, but in the morning of 23 March police revised the total to four.
– President Trump's oldest son was slammed Wednesday for what was seen as a political attack on London's mayor within hours of a terrorist attack that left five people dead and dozens injured. "You have to be kidding me?!: Terror attacks are part of living in big city, says London Mayor Sadiq Khan," Donald Trump Jr. tweeted, linking to an Independent story from last September. Trump Jr. was accused of misrepresenting the mayor's remarks and exploiting the London attack, the BBC reports. Khan, speaking after a meeting with NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio the day after three NYC-area bombings, had been talking about the need for big cities to stay vigilant and be prepared for terrorist attacks. "You have to be vigilant, you have to support the police doing an incredibly hard job, you have to support the security services," Khan said in September. It's not clear whether Trump Jr. was aware that the article he linked to was from months ago and not the mayor's response to the attack, the Guardian notes. "You use a terrorist attack on our city to attack London’s Mayor for your own political gain. You’re a disgrace," tweeted MP Wes Streeting. CNN reports that the White House offered a more diplomatic response to the attack, with Trump tweeting that he had spoken to Prime Minister Theresa May to offer condolences, and Sean Spicer saying it would be "irresponsible" to jump to conclusions about the incident.
