Based on a joint intelligence bulletin, Politico stated that the FBI and the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are worried about "retaliatory acts of violence" following the failed assassination attempt on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump last week.

Published on Monday, the bulletin stated, "The FBI and DHS remain concerned about the potential for follow-on or retaliatory acts of violence following this attack, particularly given that individuals in some online communities have threatened, encouraged, or referenced acts of violence in response to the attempted assassination."

While potential targets are not named in the text, it is said that "election-related targets" are more vulnerable to attacks and other "types of disruptive incidents." Security agencies also point out that terrorists have previously plotted attacks against "perceived political or ideological opponents."

Trump was shot in what was coined an assassination attempt by Rep. Senator Rick Scott while giving a presidential speech at a Pennsylvania rally on Sunday.

Moments after the shooting, security was able to approach Trump's podium to evacuate him. Trump appeared to have sustained mild wounds, as blood was seen running from the side of his head. 

"In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win," he wrote on his social media network Truth Social.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, in her first major statement since the shooting, revealed that the agency is ramping up security measures for Trump.

"I am confident in the security plan our Secret Service RNC coordinator and our partners have put in place, which we have reviewed and strengthened in the wake of Saturday's shooting," Cheatle stated.

She also mentioned that adjustments have been made to Trump's security detail to ensure his safety throughout the convention and the rest of the campaign.
