The Secret Service informed the Trump campaign in passing of a general uptick in threats against Trump, but the campaign was not made aware of any specific threats from an Iranian individual or group, a source familiar with the exchange told NBC News.

The U.S. obtained intelligence in recent weeks about an Iranian plot to assassinate Trump, which led the Secret Service to increase security around him.

There was no indication, however, that the plot had any link to Saturday’s assassination attempt. U.S. investigators say the evidence so far indicates the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, acted alone.

Man with gun in backpack arrested near RNC

A man who was arrested near a Republican National Convention security zone on Monday was concealing a firearm in a “tactical” backpack, police said.

The arrest took place about 1 p.m. on the 1200 block of North 11th Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Police Department said in a statement. Police determined the 21-year-old man did not have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, according to the department.

The location of the arrest was about two blocks outside the vehicle screening perimeter of the convention, which started Monday.

Law enforcement spotted the man, whose identity authorities had not released as of Tuesday night, and determined he looked suspicious, police said.

“Police initially observed the suspect looking suspicious, wearing a ski mask and a large tactical backpack in the street,” the department said.

Speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., promised to “ensure accountability” for the attack on Trump.

“Make no mistake, the House is conducting an immediate and through investigation of these tragic events, and that work has already begun,” Johnson said. “The American people deserve to know the truth, and we will ensure accountability. I promise you that.”
