Trump on call with Biden: “He couldn’t have been nicer” | Live updates

The Secret Service’s protection of former President Donald Trump has been increased, said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

The reinforcements were “due to the evolving threats to the former president and his impending transition from presumptive nominee to candidate,” Mayorkas said. “This includes reinforcements related to the former president’s security during the Republican National Convention this week. I cannot go into specifics … as these are sensitive tactics and procedures. However, I can say that personnel and other protective resources, technologies and capabilities have been added.”

Mayorkas said “adjustments” had also been made to the protections for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
