 There were also requests by Trump's security detail for more help. These were happening at the same time. More assets were granted by the Secret Service. Counter-sniper teams like the ones we saw take out the gunman Saturday. Counter-assault teams, those are the agents you saw surround and cover Trump as the shots rang out. Drones, robotic dogs. Of course, Trump has long been a target for the Iranians, most notably after directing the 2020 airstrike that killed a top Iranian commander.
