WE’RE LEARNING SECRET SERVICE SECURITY WAS ALREADY RAMPED UP AROUND TRUMP WEEKS BEFORE SATURDAY’S ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT — AFTER U-S INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS SAY THEY FOUND EVIDENCE OF AN IRANIAN PLOT TO KILL HIM.
THE AGENCY is said to have INCREASED RESOURCES IN JUNE.
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS say there are *NO* TIES BETWEEN LAST WEEKEND’S SHOOTING AND THE IRANIAN PLOT.
however IRAN DENIES THE ALLEGATIONS of any sort of assassination plot — CALLING THE accusations “UNSUBSTANTIATED.”
SOURCES FAMILIAR WITH THE threats SAY IRAN HAS BEEN MAKING THESE TYPES OF calls to take out trump SINCE THE FORMER PRESIDENT ORDERED THE AIRSTRIKE THAT KILLED IRANIAN MILITARY GENERAL — QASEM (kuh-SEEM) SOLEIMANI (soul-eh-MAH–nee) — IN JANUARY 20-20.
