A senior White House official said on Monday that the White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, will convene a meeting this week to review presidential security following a shooting that took place near a gathering of journalists and administration officials in Washington.
The official said the administration and the president continue to stand by the leadership of the U.S. Secret Service after the shooting outside the hotel ballroom where the White House Correspondents' Association dinner was being held.
Wiles is expected to meet early this week with senior figures from the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security to examine "protocol and practices" for major events that involve the president, the official said. The session will specifically review the security response enacted on Saturday and will look at "everything possible" to protect future events, according to the official's description.
The forthcoming discussion is framed as a targeted review of procedures used for large-scale gatherings that include the president. Officials plan to analyze the actions taken in response to the recent shooting and to consider how those procedures might be adjusted or reinforced to reduce risk at similar events going forward.
Officials emphasized their continued confidence in Secret Service leadership while noting that an internal review of the incident and the response will be part of the meeting's agenda. The focus, as described by the senior official, will be on practical measures and established practices tied to presidential appearances and gatherings involving media and administration personnel.
The White House's stated intent is to both evaluate the specific response to the shooting and to explore all available steps that could be applied to safeguard subsequent events. Beyond the meeting's immediate agenda, the official did not provide additional details about potential changes or timelines for any new measures.
Given the limited information provided publicly, the official's account frames the effort as a concentrated review rather than a public statement of new policy. The administration's public posture remains supportive of the current Secret Service leadership while the review proceeds.
