A video of Secret Service shooting at the attempted assassin of Donald Trump has leaked.
The United States Secret Service has a longstanding tradition of safeguarding former presidents. This protective measure, established by the Former Presidents Act of 1958, ensures that every former president receives lifelong Secret Service protection.
Upon leaving office, former presidents are immediately assigned a team of Secret Service agents. These agents are tasked with ensuring the safety and security of the former president and their immediate family. The level of protection is akin to that provided during their tenure in office, though adapted to fit their post-presidential lifestyle.
The protection detail includes both visible and covert agents. They employ a variety of methods, including advanced surveillance, cybersecurity measures, and secure transportation. The detail conducts regular threat assessments and maintains constant communication with local law enforcement to preemptively address any potential threats.
In addition to physical protection, former presidents benefit from secure communications and travel arrangements. Their residences are equipped with state-of-the-art security systems, and they receive protection during both domestic and international travel. The Secret Service collaborates with international agencies to ensure safety abroad.
This comprehensive protection enables former presidents to continue their public and private endeavors safely, preserving their legacy and personal security throughout their post-presidential lives.
