On Wednesday evening, it was reported that six Secret Service personnel connected to the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July have been suspended.

Would-be assassin Thomas Crooks was able to climb on top of a roof next to Trump's Butler, Pennsylvania rally and put Trump in his scope.

A bullet grazed President Trump's ear on July 13, 2024 during his Pennsylvania rally. One rallygoer was fatally struck in the head. Two other rally attendees were wounded, one critically.

A Secret Service sniper fatally shot Thomas Matthew Crooks after he took several shots at Trump and rallygoers.

The so-called 'security lapses' and circumstances surrounding the assassination attempt against Trump raise questions about how Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to pull everything off by himself.

Nearly a year later, six USSS personnel were suspended without pay.

The identities of the suspended agents were not disclosed Wednesday evening.

CBS News reported that the six Secret Service personnel were suspended without pay for up to six weeks then placed into restricted duty roles "with less operational responsibility."

"We aren't going to fire our way out of this," Matt Quinn, Secret Service Deputy Director said in an interview CBS News. "We're going to focus on the root cause and fix the deficiencies that put us in that situation."

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