White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Will Now Receive Secret Service Detail

[Conservative Angle]

​

This was a nice call by the White House.

White House insiders have revealed Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will now receive Secret Service protection in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination.

To help with the additional coverage, Congress is in the process of providing the Secret Service with additional funding that would amount to nearly $60 million.

CBS reported more details on Leavitt receiving Secret Service protection:

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was given a U.S. Secret Service protective detail in recent days, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

The move comes in the wake of the shooting of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which sparked a conversation about the safety of high-profile individuals in public settings.

Leavitt declined to comment. The Secret Service has not yet responded to CBS News’ request for comment.
Congress is currently considering providing $58 million in additional funding to increase security for officials in the executive and judicial branches.

While it’s uncommon for White House press secretaries to have a protective detail, it’s not unprecedented.

Karoline Leavitt didn't have Secret Service protection already?!? https://t.co/s5mrSUnalt

Historically, the Secret Service has not provided protection to White House Press Secretaries, but it has been done before.

AOL reported on another Press Secretary receiving Secret Service protection:

While it’s uncommon for White House press secretaries to have a protective detail, it’s not unprecedented.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, now the governor of Arkansas, was temporarily assigned a Secret Service detail at her home in 2018 while serving as President Trump’s spokesperson during his first term.

The assignment was made after Sanders was refused service at a restaurant in Lexington, Virginia. She tweeted about the incident, which caused an uproar on social media.
