President Donald Trump on August 15 retweeted a statement from Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, highlighting the importance of a project aimed at enhancing White House security and intelligence capabilities.
Clayton emphasized that the project is vital for ensuring the White House can serve as a secure location for the President, senior government officials, and gatherings that further U.S. interests. He also noted that the initiative will improve protection levels, threat management, and the handling of intelligence community information.
"The Project is critical for ensuring the White House can serve as a secure location for the gathering of the President, gathering of senior government officials, and gatherings that further the interests of the United States," Clayton said. "The Project on the Complex also will improve the level of protection and ability to manage and mitigate threats to the President and senior government officials and will enhance the handling, management, and utilization of IC information, including the conduct of IC-directed support to the Complex."
