Trump said: In light of what is going on in the world today, I believe it is imperative that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. receive Secret Service protection — immediately. Given the history of the Kennedy Family, this is the obvious right thing to do!
Kennedy has previously been denied Secret Service protection, but the Department of Homeland Security is currently processing another request for heightened security. Trump emphasized the urgency of granting Kennedy Secret Service protection in a post on Truth Social on Monday.

Kennedy has criticized his repeated denials for Secret Service protection as "politically motivated, petty, and vindictive." As the son of former New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968 while running for president, and the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963, Kennedy has a personal history with political violence.
In the wake of the attempted assassination of Trump on Saturday, several lawmakers from both parties have called for increased security for Trump, Biden, and Kennedy.
Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) announced on Sunday that he and Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) would introduce legislation for "enhanced Secret Service protection" for Biden, Trump, and Kennedy. Other politicians, such as Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), have also called for Kennedy to receive protection.
The Secret Service is facing significant criticism over its handling of Trump's security after a gunman injured the former president and killed one man, Corey Comperatore, 50, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
The agency has stated it will cooperate with investigations into the apparent security failings that led to the attempted assassination of Trump.
