Former President Trump's speech in Nashville was briefly delayed by the Secret Service over another security lapse, but the Secret Service said there was no threat to Trump.
Former President Trump's speech in Nashville, Tennessee, over the weekend was briefly delayed by the Secret Service over another security concern, just two weeks after he survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, according to reports.
It was determined that there was no protective interest with these individuals and there was never a threat to the former president,' the spokesperson said. Both individuals were questioned by law enforcement after they were found and removed from the event, the New York Post reported. Neither person was charged in connection with the incident. The two people were stopped at an initial checkpoint before bypassing the second screening, according to the outlet.
This comes after Trump survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, when gunman Thomas Mathew Crooks, 20, opened fire. One spectator was killed while other attendees were wounded. Trump suffered injuries to his ear in the incident.
