The Secret Service has placed five agents on administrative duties following the investigation of security failures during the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, allowing them to continue receiving their pay.
The agents assigned to administrative duties are not fired but have been relieved from operational responsibilities, with four from Pittsburgh and one from Trump's personal detail, as security lapses are investigated.
During the rally where the assassination attempt occurred, approximately 15,000 supporters were present, leading to a significant security presence. The assassination attempt raised questions and calls for accountability within the Secret Service.
In a congressional testimony after the incident, the acting director of the Secret Service defended the lack of immediate dismissals, emphasizing the importance of neutrality while managing internal inquiries regarding security protocols.
