多位知情人士告诉美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)，在保守派活动人士查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)被杀后，特朗普政府要求国会批准额外的5800万美元，以加强行政和司法部门成员的安全。
消息人士称，在正式请求中，政府还概述了其对立法部门增加安全和保护措施的支持，但将推迟国会的实施。
此举是在即将到来的9月30日政府拨款截止日期之前。美国广播公司新闻已经联系白宫进行评论。
众议院议长·迈克·约翰逊此前表示，国会领导人正在审查成员安全。
“我们正在进行审慎的评估，以确定哪些措施是合适的，我们可以为此分配多少资金。我们必须保护竞选公职的人，否则没人会保护，这是我们内心和思想上的沉重负担，”约翰逊上周表示。
美国国会大厦警方告诉美国广播公司新闻，该部门预计到2025年底，将跟踪“大约”14，000起对立法者的威胁。

Trump wants additional $58M to boost security
The Trump administration requested that Congress approve an additional $58 million to boost security for members of the executive and judicial branches following the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, multiple sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
In the formal request, the administration also outlined its support to increase security and protective measures for the legislative branch but is deferring to Congress on the implementation, sources say.
This move comes ahead of the upcoming Sept. 30 government funding deadline. ABC News has reached out to the White House for comment.
House Speaker Mike Johnson previously said congressional leaders were reviewing member security.
“We are in a deliberate review process to determine what measures are appropriate, how much we could allocate for that. We have to protect people who run for public office, or no one will and that is heavy on our hearts and minds,” Johnson said last week.
U.S. Capitol Police told ABC News that the department expects to track “roughly” 14,000 threats to lawmakers by the end of 2025.
Punchbowl was the first to report the news of the additional funding request.
