McCain To Get Secret Service Protection

In an interview taped this morning for Fox News Sunday, John McCain said that he has a scheduled meeting with the Secret Service next week and that he will be getting SS protection soon after. Fox will be releasing clips of the interview soon, reports NBC/NJ's Adam Aigner-Treworgy. McCain has said that he would like to push off SS protection as long as possible to save money. But the head of the SS testified before Congress yesterday that McCain hasn't been under their watch, forcing the AZ Sen to relent.
