Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who receives protection from the U.S. Secret Service, was not under threat during the shooting, law enforcement sources said.

A day after the claim was shared, Yellen posted to her government-verified X account about the unveiling of a portrait of Jack Lew, who served as treasury secretary under former President Barack Obama. Had she left the position as claimed in the Instagram post, she surely would not have had access to that official social media account.
