From NBC News: Former President Donald Trump plans to stop holding outdoor rallies like the one where he was shot during an assassination attempt this month in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to two sources familiar with his campaign’s operations.

The sources said current plans are to hold indoor rallies, but they also said it’s possible Trump will participate in smaller outdoor events or larger rallies in facilities where entrances are more fully controlled and there are not issues with high ground nearby, like stadiums.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung declined to comment on Trump’s security measures and referred questions to the Secret Service.

This comes after the Washington Post reported that Secret Service officials have encouraged Donald Trump’s campaign to stop scheduling large outdoor rallies and other outdoor events with big crowds after the assassination attempt.

Citing people familiar with the matter, the Post reported, “For upcoming events, Trump’s team is scouting indoor venues, such as basketball arenas and other large spaces where thousands of people can fit.”

In the past, Trump has frequently held rallies at fairgrounds, airports and other large outdoor venues. At many of the airport events, his “Trump Force One” plane has been used as a backdrop.
