As Fox News confirmed, at least five members of the Secret Service were placed on leave following the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
A member of Trump’s personal security team and four members of the Secret Service field office in Pittsburgh, including the special agent in charge, were placed on leave.
The news comes as the elite agency investigates the security glitch that led to Thomas Matthew Crooks firing multiple shots from the nearby AGR building.
A bullet grazed Trump’s right ear, while firefighter Corey Comperatore was fatally shot. Rally participants James Copenhaver and David Dutch were also shot and injured.
Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned over the incident.
