The U.S. Secret Service says that two agents are under investigation after an incident last week in which they were reported to have driven a government car into White House barricades after drinking at a late-night party. Jillian Kitchener reports.
Two senior Secret Service agents allegedly crashed a government car into White House barricades after drinking at a party on March 4.
Former President Donald Trump granted extended Secret Service protections to his four adult children. This is also extended to their spouses, according to Business Insider. He made this move before he left the White House in a last effort of wielding power. This expensive, full-time security detail is an unexpected move for most. The extended security detail could cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Given the amount of traveling that the Trump children do, the cost could be astronomical.
White House security plans proposed by the Secret Service include a 14-foot barrier nearly twice the height of the current fence.
A United States Secret Service officer formerly assigned to the White House was shot and killed on Tuesday in Washington D.C.
