White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was given a U.S. Secret Service protective detail in recent days, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
The move comes in the wake of the shooting of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which sparked a conversation about the safety of high-profile individuals in public settings.
Leavitt declined to comment. The Secret Service has not yet responded to CBS News' request for comment.
Congress is currently considering providing $58 million in additional funding to increase security for officials in the executive and judicial branches. While it's uncommon for White House press secretaries to have a protective detail, it's not unprecedented.

They seem to enjoy creating an environment that ends up requiring them to have extra security.

These security details are very very expensive.
They love to feel special and important.
