From ABC News: The U.S. Secret Service is making arrangements for former President Donald Trump to resume outdoor campaign rallies by surrounding his podium with bulletproof glass, multiple sources told ABC News.
The measure is typically used exclusively for sitting presidents, but the Secret Service is making an exception following the first attempted assassination of a presidential candidate since George Wallace in 1972.
The Secret Service declined to comment on its use of ballistic glass.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said the campaign does not comment on security measures relating to Trump.
