A Secret Service spokesman stated that the agency is investigating any perceived threats towards those being protected. The Secret Service does not discuss matters of protective intelligence to maintain operational security. Since the assassination of Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranian media have repeatedly circulated content threatening the president and his family members. This latest threat follows a recent CNN report that the Secret Service was aware of the potential danger posed to Barron Trump.",
