House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said Monday that he has requested a briefing from the Secret Service on its safeguards for agents exposed to COVID-19, a day after President Trump left his hospital suite while undergoing treatment for the virus to greet supporters from his motorcade, putting his protective detail at risk of exposure.

Trump, who is currently undergoing treatment for COVID-19 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, waved to supporters from inside a Chevy Suburban while accompanied by two Secret Service agents on Sunday. Trump could be seen wearing a cloth mask, while the two agents seated inside the car with him wore full protective gear, including medical gowns, respirator masks and eye protection.

Trump's move to wave at his supporters who gathered across the street from the hospital drew outrage from members of the Secret Service and medical professionals who warned that a contagious disease patient shouldn't be leaving his hospital room or putting his protective detail at risk.

The president addressed the controversy in a tweet on Monday.

Put Drumpf in a straight jacket already!
