New Secret Service Agents To Get Tailored Suits

“New Secret Service protective detail agents are about to get a wardrobe upgrade, courtesy of taxpayers,” CNN reports.

“The Secret Service will soon offer each agent who graduates from protective detail training two tailored suits, according to sources familiar with the matter and a public contract solicitation. The initiative to have the Secret Service purchase suits happened because Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem disliked how a protective detail was dressed in the suits they bought for themselves, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.”

“DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin denied that account, telling CNN, ‘This does not have to do with optics” but aims to fix inequities for the “men and woman who are just starting their career.’”
