Multiple Secret Service Agents Suspended In Connection with Trump Assassination Attempt
Share this @internewscast.com

On Wednesday during “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Fox News, the host shared that six Secret Service agents associated with the assassination attempt on then-presidential candidate Trump by his butler have been “suspended.”

Watters highlighted that the announcement comes just before the first anniversary of the incident, which resulted in the death of firefighter Corey Comperatore and left Trump with a minor ear injury after narrowly avoiding a direct hit by turning his head.

ABC News reported that:

The positions of those suspended ranged from supervisory level to line agent level, a source familiar with the agency’s decision told ABC News.

Matt Quinn, Secret Service deputy director, spoke to CBS News and confirmed the suspensions.

He stated, “We can’t solve this issue by simply firing people. We need to address the underlying causes and correct the flaws that led to this predicament.”

“Secret Service is totally accountable for Butler,” Quinn continued. “Butler was an operational failure, and we are focused today on ensuring that it never happens again.” 

As my RedState colleague Bob Hoge recently noted, the country had seen an attempt on a president’s life before that day in Butler, but it was Trump’s reaction to it that changed the course of history in modern days.

He wrote:

If anyone doubted the man’s spirit before that, they were fully awakened in that moment.

From that moment on, it seemed assured that he would become president again, and indeed he did.

As of late Wednesday, there’s been no official press release from the Secret Service or the White House about the suspended personnel.

This is a developing story; updates will be posted as they’re available.
