Secret Service To Use Bulletproof Glass At Trump Rallies

The Washington Post reports:

The Secret Service has approved a new security plan to better protect former president Donald Trump at outdoor campaign events, including the use of bulletproof glass to shield him onstage, a Secret Service official confirmed.

The effort comes after the Secret Service urged the Trump campaign to temporarily pause having Trump appear at outdoor rallies, after a gunman fired multiple shots at the Republican nominee at an outdoor fairgrounds in Butler, Pa., on July 13.
