The Secret Service is increasing security measures around former President Donald Trump following recent incidents, including an apparent assassination attempt at his golf course in Florida. Federal prosecutors charged a man in connection with the attempt, and he appeared in court on Monday. The suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, dropped off a letter claiming responsibility for the failed assassination attempt. Trump was also shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, prompting heightened security around him. The House has unanimously voted to increase protection for all presidential candidates, giving them the same level of protection as presidents. Trump plans to return to the site of the rally shooting in Pennsylvania on October 5, one month before Election Day. The Secret Service has been visibly present around Trump at recent events, indicating the heightened security measures in place for his protection.
