Secret Service Suspends Six Agents Over Butler Rally Security Failures
BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 10 – Six Secret Service agents received suspensions of 10 to 42 days without pay after investigations revealed multiple security failures during the assassination attempt on President Trump.
- On July 13, 2024, Thomas Matthew Crooks fired shots at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, resulting in the death of one participant and leaving two others critically injured.
- The attack exposed severe operational failures and communication breakdowns within the US Secret Service, which has faced intense criticism from Congress over the last year.
- Following the shooting, former Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned amid scrutiny, and six agents across supervisory and line levels received suspensions ranging from 10 to 42 days without pay.
- A senior official expressed ongoing frustration by noting that individuals directly involved in operations have not faced consequences, with some having advanced to higher positions.
- The suspensions and reported reforms, including increased drone use and mobile command posts, indicate steps to prevent future failures, though accountability gaps remain unresolved.
