Secret Service warns of high threat levels before White House Correspondents’ Dinner

Secret Service officials reported a 40% increase in protective intelligence cases since January, with nearly 10,000 cases opened, attributing the rise to online threats, mental health concerns, and ideological grievances. Director Sean Curran emphasized heightened threat levels and defended security measures at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where an armed individual was intercepted.
