Bradshaw, of course, said he can’t describe everything, but right now there’s no actionable intelligence that suggests anything is going to happen.

That’s coming from the Secret Service and another intelligence gathering source.

At the first sign of something developing, he said those additional resources are ready to go.

He also said that more eyes are on Mar-a-Lago because of the strikes and the incident last Sunday. A 21-year-old man from North Carolina was shot and killed by U.S. Secret Service agents and a deputy after an unauthorized entry into the secure perimeter.

“That first layer, the outer layer, you know, will be detected very, very quick,” Bradshaw said. “And then we’ll respond along with the Secret Service and figure out who’s there and why and, and take them into custody. So it works very well. The system was set up very good. And, we’re confident that it’s safe and secure over there.

The sheriff reiterated that his deputies and the Secret Service are working together seamlessly to protect the president, always, but especially during the time of heightened tensions.

Trump recorded a video early Saturday and then posted on Truth Social that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed. He didn’t meet with the news media Saturday.
