US President Barack Obama faces the same level of threat as that of his two predecessors, George W Bush and Bill Clinton, a senior Secret Service official has said.
"The threats (to Obama) right now and inappropriate interest that we are seeing is the same level as it has been for the previous two Presidents at this point," the Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan said in response to a question at a Congressional hearing.
The US Secret Service is responsible for the protection of the first family of the United States.
"They are not," Sullivan said when Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton asked him if the threats to Obama were higher or not, during a hearing by House Committee on Homeland Security on the security breach in the White House last week.
Norton termed "as very comforting news," when Sullivan dismissed published reports that the level of death threat against Obama was four time higher than that of his predecessors.
