WASHINGTON — The Secret Service will use ballistic glass to protect former President Donald Trump so that he can resume outdoor campaign events, according to two sources familiar with the planning and one Trump campaign official. Bulletproof glass of this kind is already available to sitting presidents and vice presidents.
Not every outdoor event will require ballistic glass, but in order to better protect Trump, it is likely to be used whenever there are issues at specific sites or needs for added security. It is one of several security measures previously only used for officeholders but that is now being added to Trump's protection after a failed assassination attempt, one of the officials said.
