A community in Pennsylvania is defending itself against criticisms in a remarkable back-and-forth between the Secret Service and local law enforcement agencies.

The attempted assassination was being investigated as a potential act of domestic terrorism, the FBI said in a statement late Sunday.

The US Secret Service boosted security around former President Donald Trump after picking up intelligence in recent weeks of an Iranian plot to assassinate him, people familiar with the matter said, adding that the threat was separate from the attempt on his life last weekend.

US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.

The Secret Service has faced criticism over the attempted assassination of Donald Trump by Thomas Crooks, weeks after learning of the Iran plot.
