(The Hill) – A source within the agency has confirmed that the Secret Service has placed six agents on suspension due to their “actions” related to last year’s attempted assassination of President Trump during a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The suspensions occurred after an inquiry examined the assassination attempt, focusing specifically on the agents’ conduct, as reported to NewsNation, affiliated with The Hill. The roles of these agents vary from supervisory positions to more junior roles.

The report, highlighted by CBS News, stated, “The Secret Service fails to operate at the high caliber necessary for fulfilling its crucial role. The organization has grown overly bureaucratic, complacent, and stagnant despite increased risks and technological advancements.”

The Secret Service deputy director stated that penalties ranged from 10 to 42 days of leave without pay or benefits, according to CBS News.

Trump made headlines after emerging from a body shield of Secret Service agents to raise his fist after a gunshot grazed his ear at the Pennsylvania rally in July of 2024. 

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) said the event was “astonishing” and endowed the president with a “Taylor Swift kind of swag” that contributed to the leader’s traction on the campaign trail.

However, those in attendance mourned the loss of Corey Comperatore, a firefighter killed at the campaign event.

The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was fatally shot by agents. 

Then Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle faced heavy criticism for the agency’s response to the attack. 

Cheatle resigned from the role in July 2024, and Sean Curran now leads the agency.
