BlockBeats News, May 25th - U.S. President Trump posted on social media, revealing a legal document filed in the District of Columbia federal court. The document stated that on the evening of May 23rd, a gunman near the White House security checkpoint fired towards the White House with a high-caliber weapon, prompting the Secret Service to return fire, resulting in the gunman being shot dead and a bystander being severely injured.
The document indicated that this was "the second assassination attempt against the President in a month" and used this as a basis to request the court to lift the injunction on the previous White House East Wing security renovation project. The document stated that the project includes bulletproof, blast-resistant, anti-drone, and sniper defense facilities, with the aim of enhancing the overall security of the White House.
The Trump administration emphasized in the document that the current international situation has escalated security threats, requiring the White House to build a higher-level permanent defense system, and stated that the court injunction "endangers the safety of the President and his family."
