The U.S. Secret Service reports a 40% increase in threats against individuals it protects compared to the previous year. The agency has investigated approximately 10,000 threat cases so far this year, as it prepares for the upcoming White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The agency's director, Sean Curran, acknowledged the reality of potential threats at public events, stating that they are preparing for such scenarios as they would for any presidential event.
