Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has officially announced his running mate at the Republican National Convention. This follows a recent development in which a judge dismissed a case against Trump regarding the handling of classified materials.
At the same time, the Secret Service is facing increasing scrutiny and criticism over the security measures at a recent rally where Trump was shot by a protester.
The announcement of Trump’s running mate comes as no surprise, as speculation has been building for weeks. Indiana Governor Mike Pence has been chosen to join Trump on the ticket as his vice president. Trump praised Pence’s experience and leadership, stating that he would make a “great vice president.”
Pence, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump, accepted the nomination with gratitude and promised to work tirelessly to help Trump win the presidential election.
Meanwhile, a judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed against Trump by a former State Department employee who accused him of mishandling classified documents. The judge ruled that the case lacked evidence and that Trump had not acted with malicious intent.
This comes as a relief to the Trump campaign, which has faced numerous legal battles throughout the course of his presidential bid.
However, Trump’s recent shooting at a rally has raised concerns about the Secret Service’s ability to protect the nominee. Critics have pointed out that the protester was able to get dangerously close to Trump before being tackled by security.
The Secret Service has yet to release a statement regarding the incident, but many are calling for an investigation into their protocols and procedures.
As Trump and his team continue their campaign, these recent developments have only added to the intense scrutiny and controversy surrounding his bid for the White House.
