Six Secret Service Agents Suspended Over Trump Assassination Attempt Lapses
Six Secret Service agents have been suspended following investigations into security failures during the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at a 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The attack, carried out by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, resulted in Trump being grazed by a bullet and the death of rally attendee firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed while shielding his family. The suspensions, involving both supervisory and line agents, range from 10 to 42 days and come just days before the first anniversary of the shooting. Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn acknowledged the agency's operational failure, emphasizing a focus on uncovering root causes and implementing reforms, including new military-grade drones and improved communication with local law enforcement. The incident prompted the resignation of then-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and led to enhanced security measures for President Trump, especially after a second assassination attempt at his golf course shortly thereafter. No official press release has been issued by the Secret Service or White House regarding the suspensions as the story develops.
