US Secret Service says it is aware of Iranian video threat to Barron Trump
Iranian state TV airs video claiming tracking of US president’s 20-year-old son and offering US$10 million bounty for his killing
The US Secret Service is aware of a video broadcast by Iranian state television discussing a potential plot to assassinate US President Donald Trump’s youngest son, a spokesman said on Tuesday.
“The US Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees.
“Out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence,” Secret Service spokesman Nate Herring wrote in an email.
A three-minute video broadcast by Iranian state television discussed a potential plot to assassinate Barron Trump, 20, claiming that he was being monitored and alleging that a US$10 million bounty had been offered for his killing.
