- President Donald Trump acknowledged that a Secret Service officer tried to bring his wife onto a plane supporting his trip to Scotland.

- The agent, stationed in Dallas, transported his wife to Maryland where she attended an authorized briefing by the Secret Service, but officials later asked her to leave after she was found at Joint Air Base Andrews.
- The Secret Service stated no protectees were aboard the flight and confirmed "no impact" on their overseas protective operation, while a major investigation was launched into the security breach.
- The episode marks another setback for the Secret Service during a beleaguered year, and Trump expressed confidence in the agency despite excusing the incident as agents having a bad day.
