Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that former President Donald Trump's public schedule will remain unchanged following what he described as a security incident involving a "lone man."

During an interview on CBS News' "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that aired April 26, 2026, Blanche indicated that the incident was intended to intimidate but had failed to achieve that goal.

"If one of his goals was to get us to be scared, he failed," Blanche told host Margaret Brennan during the broadcast.

The acting attorney general's comments suggest that federal authorities have assessed the threat and determined it does not warrant changes to Trump's public appearance schedule. Blanche characterized the incident as involving a single individual rather than a broader conspiracy or organized threat.

No additional details about the nature of the security incident or the identity of the individual involved were provided during the interview. The Justice Department has not released further information about any ongoing investigation related to the matter.
