Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are quietly discussing options for expanding personal security protections<\/a>, reports suggest.<\/p>\n

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Rep. Joe Morelle, D-N.Y., have reportedly had conversations about the issue with House Speaker Mike Johnson<\/a>, R-La., and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wisc.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A senior Democratic committee aide told The Hill that Jeffries and Morelle “have regularly discussed innovative solutions to the heightened need for Member security” with Johnson and Steil.<\/p>\n

The aide told The Hill<\/a> that the lawmakers had discussed an expansion of the Law Enforcement Coordination Program that would “provide a dedicated staff slot and funding for Members to hire a staff member focused solely on security, including facilitating more timely threat assessments and liaising with law enforcement.”<\/p>\n

Morelle said in an interview with Semafor<\/a> that the staffer would be “someone who\u2019s probably a former law enforcement, former military, who meets all the requirements of being able to carry a gun.”<\/p>\n

Jeffries, Morelle, Johnson and Steil also reportedly discussed the possibility of providing members with a security professional “as they perform their official duties,” according to The Hill.<\/p>\n

The push came as lawmakers gained access to a new $20,000 monthly security allowance on Monday, according to multiple reports. Members are also expected to get access to a mobile distress system, the House Sergeant-at-Arms William McFarland said in a letter obtained by Roll Call.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Covered services include accompanying a Member or providing residential coverage at a member\u2019s home,” McFarland’s letter read. He also noted that security personnel hired through the program would not be allowed in the Capitol or on its grounds.<\/p>\n

The move started as a pilot program in which lawmakers were given $5,000 a month for security personnel away from the capitol, according to Roll Call. The outlet noted that the allowance increased to $10,000 in September and was extended through Nov. 21. The program has since been made permanent.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital contacted Jeffries, Morelle, Johnson and Steil for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
