Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the US Secret Service, said it and other agencies were “constantly receiving new potential threat information and taking action to adjust resources, as needed”.<\/p>\n
“We cannot comment on any specific threat stream, other than to say that the Secret Service takes threats seriously and responds accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Trump campaign said it did not comment on security matters and referred BBC questions to the Secret Service. <\/p>\n
Adrienne Watson, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, said that US security officials had been “tracking Iranian threats against former Trump administration officials for years”.<\/p>\n
“These threats arise from Iran’s desire to seek revenge for the killing of Soleimani,” she said. “We consider this a national and homeland security matter of the highest priority.”<\/p>\n
She however reiterated that the investigation “has not identified ties” between Crooks and “any accomplice or co-conspirator, foreign or domestic.”<\/p>\n
In 2022, the Department of Justice announced criminal charges against a member of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, alleging that he was orchestrating a plot to kill Mr Bolton.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors said the plot was \u201clikely in retaliation\u201d for the killing of Soleimani.<\/p>\n
Questions have swirled about how police officers and agents responsible for the rally at Butler County fairgrounds, Pennsylvania, allowed Crooks to get so close.<\/p>\n
The director of the Secret Service admitted that local police were inside the building while Crooks was on its roof aiming at Trump 130m (430ft) away.<\/p>\n
CBS News, the BBC’s US partner, reported three local police snipers were inside the building and had seen Crooks getting on the roof. <\/p>\n
The local sheriff’s department referred BBC questions to the state police, which said it was not responsible for the area containing the building.<\/p>\n
A state police spokesman told the BBC that it provided “all resources” requested by the Secret Service, including between 30 to 40 troopers inside the perimeter.<\/p>\n
President Joe Biden has ordered an independent review of how the gunman could have come so close to killing Trump, and the Secret Service also faces probes from Congress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
