Six Secret Service agents were suspended without pay or
benefits following an assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at a
rally in Pennsylvania in July 2024.
Matt Quinn, the agency's deputy director, told CBS News on
Wednesday that they were "not going to fire our way out of this," but
did affirm that they are "fully focused on addressing the root of the
problem."
Quinn told the outlet that the agents received sanctions
ranging from 10 to 42 days of unpaid leave and were assigned restricted duties
with reduced responsibilities upon their return. He added that the disciplinary
actions followed a federally mandated process.
