WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US Secret Service officials are encouraging Donald Trump's campaign to avoid outdoor rallies and other events that draw large crowds in the wake of the recent assassination attempt against the former president, the Washington Post reported.
Secret Service agents expressed concern over the candidate's safety at large outdoor rallies going forward, the newspaper claimed, citing three anonymous sources reportedly familiar with the matter.
In response, Trump's team is scouting possible indoor venues capable of accommodating his often large crowds. But indoor rallies are reportedly often more expensive with lower crowd capacities than outdoor events, despite being easier to secure.
