Jul 15, 2024, 05:04 PM
President Joe Biden has directed the Department of Homeland Security to provide Secret Service protection for independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This decision follows an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally. The calls for Kennedy's protection had intensified, with numerous public figures, including Trump, urging the Biden administration to act. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed the directive, stating that the Secret Service will now extend its protection to Kennedy. The decision, announced on July 15, comes after months of denied requests for such protection for Kennedy. Trump had made his call for Kennedy's protection via a Truth Social post.
