Secret Service Suspends Six After Trump Attack Failures

News summary

Six Secret Service agents have been suspended without pay for 10 to 42 days following failures during the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was grazed by a bullet in the attack, which killed firefighter Corey Comperatore and injured two others before the shooter was killed by a Secret Service sniper. The incident led to the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and investigations, including a bipartisan House report citing leadership and training failures and poor coordination with local law enforcement. The suspended agents, ranging from supervisors to line personnel, will return to reduced responsibility roles but will not be fired as the agency focuses on systemic reform. In response, the Secret Service has implemented enhanced communication systems and military-grade drones to improve security. Agency officials emphasized full accountability and a commitment to preventing future lapses.
