6. The Secret Service has always been with the Treasury.

7. We are both wrong.

The United States Secret Service (also USSS or Secret Service) is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security charged with conducting criminal investigations and protecting the nation's leaders and their families.[3] Until 2003, the Secret Service was part of the Department of the Treasury, as the agency was founded in 1865 to combat the then-widespread counterfeiting of U.S. currency.[4]

10. Didn't know they had been moved.

Thank you.

11. There were some articles a few years back (during the Obama admin)...

... after a couple of security breaches talking about how being moved into DHS had hurt the Service. The gist of them went that under Treasury the service was their high-profile jewel, so it got the resources it needed. Under DHS, it was just another outfit among many, and quality suffered.

3. Just saw this. Yikes! You would think, WH staff/associated

personnel would be a rather small "community". But it just takes ONE person. And they can be your friend, child, parents, in-laws, co-worker, grocery clerk, mailman, the virus doesn't care.

If you can, stay at home !
