In the aftermath of the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the Secret Service has placed multiple agents, including the head of the Pittsburgh field office, on administrative leave. Reports indicate that at least five officials involved in the rally's planning are now on leave, but the exact number may grow as the investigation continues. The Secret Service has faced scrutiny for security lapses, with internal and FBI investigations ongoing, and Congress also launching a probe. The agency has committed to investigating policy violations and taking disciplinary action as necessary. This incident has highlighted potential mismanagement within the Secret Service's leadership, leading to operational failures and intense public and political pressure for accountability.
