A Glock handgun was carried into Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, in August while President Donald Trump was golfing. The event raises questions about the level of security Secret Service provides for the president.

The firearm was brought in by a club member. A Secret Service Uniformed Division officer hand-checked the bag and used a wand on the individual but did not detect the gun. The weapon was later discovered, reports Real Clear Politics. Officials said the Glock was not in Trump’s vicinity during his time at the club and did not pose a direct threat.

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the incident when asked about the failure to detect the weapon.

That evening, Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were confronted by pro-Palestinian protesters inside a restaurant in Washington, DC, located near the White House. Witnesses said the protesters shouted at Trump and his team for roughly 30 seconds at close range before Trump instructed agents to remove them, RCP reports.

Video and accounts of the confrontation circulated online, raising questions about how the demonstrators knew Trump’s location. Some commentators and sources within the Secret Service suggested the possibility of an information leak.

The two incidents have drawn attention to the level of security around Trump. Nearly one year ago, Trump survived a second assassination attempt at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida after the then-presidential candidate was shot in Bulter, Pennsylvania.

Both the Glock incident in Sterling and the protester breach in Washington occurred within days of each other and have renewed concerns over the Secret Service’s protective measures.

“The U.S. Secret Service takes the safety and security of our sites very seriously and there are redundant security layers built into every one,” a Secret Service spokesperson said. “The Secret Service initiated an internal review into employee conduct after a member of a Virginia golf club notified the agency that they inadvertently brought their firearm into a protective site on August 31.”
