In an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, Secret Service Director Sean Curran and Deputy Director Matthew Quinn warned of a significant rise in threats against protectees, especially President Trump, who has faced more assassination attempts than any other president. Curran described the current threat environment as "like we've never seen before," noting that threats are up by over 40% since last year. The Secret Service leadership also addressed concerns about internet influence and mental health issues contributing to an increase in threats but maintained their apolitical stance, emphasizing they do not weigh threats based on political leaning.
