Episode Details

Secret Service Director Sean Curran revealed a staggering 10,000 threat investigations this year—up from 7,000 last year—calling the current environment the most volatile he’s ever seen. Most threats begin online, and every one is treated as credible until proven otherwise. This follows a tense April incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where a gunman breached security with a shotgun but was stopped before reaching the president. Curran defended the system, noting the suspect was caught far from the target. For the upcoming event at the Waldorf Astoria, security is being dramatically upgraded to ensure the president’s safety.
