DHS Sec.: ‘Unequivocally False’ that We Have Rebuffed Requests from President Trump’s Security Detail to Increase Protective Resources

STEPHANOPOULOS: “You also received a letter from the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee that suggests your department may have quote, ‘rebuffed multiple requests from President Trump security detail to increase protective resources.’ How do you respond to that?”
MAYORKAS: “That is unequivocally false assertion. We keep a very close watch on a very dynamic threat environment. The president, the former president, are commonly consistently under threat. We take every single threat seriously. We make security adjustments as are warranted. We had enhanced security for the former president beginning at least in June. We have not received any requests for additional security measures that were rebuffed. That assertion is unequivocally false.”
