A screenshot of page 1 of a federal court filing: a legal declaration filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in the case National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States v. National Park Service, et al. (Case No. 1:25-cv-04316-RJL). It is a "Declaration of U.S. Secret Service Deputy Director Matthew C. Quinn," in which Quinn states he is the Deputy Director of the Secret Service, references three prior declarations he submitted in the matter (dated December 15, 2025, January 15, 2026, and April 13, 2026), and begins describing the Secret Service's responsibility for securing the White House Complex and how permanent physical infrastructure aids threat detection, deterrence, and response.

Case No. 1:25-cv-04316-RJL NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, et al., Defendants. DECLARATION OF U.S. SECRET SERVICE DEPUTY DIRECTOR MATTHEW C. QUINN I, Matthew C. Quinn, declare as follows: 1. I am the Deputy Director of the United States Secret Service (Secret Service). 2. I previously submitted three declarations in this matter, filed on December 15, 2025, January 15, 2026, and April 13, 2026 (collectively, the "Prior Declarations"). The Prior Declarations are incorporated herein by reference and, except as expressly stated below, to the best of my knowledge the statements contained in the Prior Declarations remain true and correct. 3. As noted in the Prior Declarations, the Secret Service is responsible for securing the White House, White House Grounds, and adjacent buildings (collectively, the "White House Complex"), and permanent physical infrastructure—designed and constructed with security requirements in mind—enhances the Secret Service's ability to detect, deter, and respond to threats.

A scanned page from a legal court filing/declaration, page 2 of 6, bearing case caption "Case 1:25-cv-04316-RJL, Document 79-1, Filed 04/27/26, Page 2 of 6" at the top in blue text (likely a court/PACER stamp). The body is numbered paragraphs 4 through 8 discussing Secret Service security matters. Paragraph 4 discusses security challenges of hosting large-scale events like state dinners in temporary structures on the White House Complex. A bolded heading reads "INCIDENT AT THE WASHINGTON HILTON ON APRIL 25, 2026," followed by paragraphs 5-7 describing that the President and other Secret Service protectees attended the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel on the evening of April 25, 2026 (noted as the site of a previous presidential assassination attempt), that a gunman opened fire at a security checkpoint inside the hotel, wounding one Secret Service Police officer before the suspect was apprehended, and that the President and other protectees were not physically harmed. A second bolded heading reads "SECURITY LIMITATIONS OF LARGE OFF-SITE VENUES," followed by paragraph 8 discussing security planning for events at commercial hotels or other non-White House Complex venues. Page number "2" appears at the bottom center.

I also previously addressed the security challenges associated with hosting large-scale events—such as state dinners—within the White House Complex in temporary structures, including tents erected on the South Lawn or other outdoor areas. As noted in the Prior Declarations, temporary venues lack the inherent security advantages of permanent facilities designed in close coordination with the Secret Service's protective and technical security experts. See Jan. 15, 2026 Quinn Decl. ¶ 10; Apr. 13, 2026 Quinn Decl. ¶¶ 9-10. INCIDENT AT THE WASHINGTON HILTON ON APRIL 25, 2026 5. On the evening of April 25, 2026, the President and other Secret Service protectees attended the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., the site of a previous presidential assassination attempt. This event is a large, high-profile gathering hosted off the White House Complex, at a privately operated, publicly accessible hotel. 6. During the event, a gunman opened fire at a Secret Service security checkpoint located inside the hotel where the event was being held. One Secret Service Police officer was shot before the suspect was apprehended by law enforcement officers on the scene. 7. The Secret Service and our law enforcement partners acted swiftly and effectively to secure the President and other protectees and respond to the attack. While the President and other protectees were not physically harmed, this incident was an attack on these national leaders at a major public event held in an off-site, non-federal facility. SECURITY LIMITATIONS OF LARGE OFF-SITE VENUES 8. When the President and other Secret Service protectees appear at a large event in a commercial hotel or other non-White House Complex venue, the Secret Service implements a comprehensive layered security plan in coordination with law enforcement 2

A page from a court filing document (page 3 of 6), stamped at the top with "Case 1:25-cv-04316-RJL, Document 79-1, Filed 04/27/26, Page 3 of 6." The body text is numbered paragraphs 8-11 from what appears to be a declaration or legal brief discussing Secret Service security measures. It compares security logistics for off-site venues (like the Washington Hilton) versus the White House Complex, describing perimeter security, magnetometer screening, canine explosive sweeps, and referencing "the prompt apprehension of the alleged attacker on April 25, 2026." A bolded section heading reads "SECURITY ADVANTAGES OF HOLDING LARGE EVENTS AT THE WHITE HOUSE COMPLEX." Page number "3" is centered at the bottom.

This typically includes the establishment of restricted areas or perimeters, installation of technical security assets like ballistic panels or glass, sweeps conducted by explosive detection canines and explosive ordnance disposal teams, magnetometer screening, physical searches of persons and items entering designated restricted areas, and the deployment of protective personnel to monitor, secure, and manage access to those areas. These measures can be highly effective, as demonstrated by the prompt apprehension of the alleged attacker on April 25, 2026. 9. Nevertheless, off-site venues present inherent constraints that do not exist when events are held within the secure perimeter of the White House Complex. For example, the Secret Service does not control the building, co-located simultaneous on-going events, surrounding streets, or adjoining properties. 10. At a commercial hotel such as the Washington Hilton, the Secret Service must adapt its security posture to a structure and layout designed primarily for commercial rather than protective or government purposes. Because the hotel is an active business, additional members of the public including employees, contractors, and other guests may be present, often in close proximity to the event space. SECURITY ADVANTAGES OF HOLDING LARGE EVENTS AT THE WHITE HOUSE COMPLEX 11. The White House Complex, in contrast, is a controlled facility with a permanent security infrastructure that has been designed in close coordination with the Secret Service. Access to the White House Complex is restricted, and all entry is routed through dedicated screening and access control points. 3
