Secret Service agents disciplined in 2024 assassination attempt against President Trump

 

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.
