Overview
- A club member’s Glock passed an Aug. 31 screening at Trump National in Sterling, Virginia, during a manual bag check while the president was on site.
- The member self-reported the firearm after entry, and officials say surveillance shows he never came into close proximity to the president.
- The Secret Service opened an internal review and placed the employee who conducted the screening on administrative leave.
- Director Sean Curran and Deputy Director Matt Quinn visited the club after the breach and received a detailed briefing on procedures.
- Screening relied on handheld magnetometers rather than walkthrough detectors that day, according to reporting, a choice now under scrutiny.
