President Donald Trump on August 15 quoted Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton emphasizing the importance of a project to ensure the White House can serve as a secure location for the President and senior officials.
Clayton stated: "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. 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."
The remarks highlight ongoing efforts to bolster security and intelligence support at the White House complex.
