The Secret Service suspended six staffers without pay or benefits after Trump assassination attempt
The Secret Service suspended six staffers without pay or benefits after President Donald Trump 's first assassination attempt nearly a year ago. On July 13, 2024, Trump, who was the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination at the time, was at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a 20-year-old gunman fired at him. A bullet grazed Trump's ear, prompting Secret Service agents to shield him with their own bodies. As Trump was being swept away to safety, he raised his fist in the air and mouthed, 'Fight, fight, fight.' The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, killed one person and injured two others before a Secret Service sniper fatally shot him. Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn has now told CBS News six agency staffers were put on unpaid leave for 10 to 42 days after the attempt on Trump's life. The agents were denied benefits during their suspension, and when they came back to work, they were placed into restricted duty or roles with less operational responsibility, according to the CBS report. Quinn admitted the attempted assassination was an 'operational failure' for which the Secret Service is 'totally accountable'. But the deputy director defended the decision not to fire the six agents outright. "We aren't going to fire our way out of this,' he said. 'We're going to focus on the root cause and fix the deficiencies that put us in that situation." Then-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle stepped down from her leadership role shortly after the Butler incident and subsequent calls for her resignation. A bipartisan House task force found 'various failures in planning, execution, and leadership' that, mixed with 'preexisting conditions,' created 'an environment in which [Trump] — and everyone at the campaign event — were exposed to grave danger,' according to a 180-page report. The report identified 'preexisting issues in leadership and training' at the Secret Service. That included agency staffers 'with little to no experience in advance planning roles [who] were given significant responsibility, despite the July 13 event being held at a higher-risk outdoor venue with many line of sight issues, in addition to specific intelligence about a long-range threat.' Another assassination attempt on Trump at his Florida golf course on September 15, 2024, was foiled by a Secret Service agent who fired at suspect Ryan Routh before a single shot was fired at Trump. Routh faces federal charges for the assassination attempt.

Secret Service suspends six agents over 'failures' during Trump's assassination attempt in Butler
Six Secret Service agents have been suspended over their alleged failures during President Donald Trump 's assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last year. The then-presidential candidate was holding a rally in Butler on July 13, 2024, when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire. One shot narrowly missed Trump and grazed his ear, while a firefighter who attended the rally, Corey Comperatore, was shot dead. Countersnipers in the Secret Service were then quick to kill the shooter at the scene. But in the aftermath, the Secret Service was hounded with questions about how it let Crooks get that close to the candidate - as he was previously seen walking around the area - and Director Kimberly Cheatle was forced to resign. The discipline within the agency did not end there, with the six agents notified in recent months that they would be suspended for their actions that day, ABC News reports. Those who were suspended ranged from supervisors to line agents, and they all ad the right to appeal their suspensions, which ranged from 10 to 42 days.
