Trump murder attempt case: Secret Service suspends 6 personnel; Deputy says that ‘we cannot set fire in our way’

CBS News said the Secret Service suspended six personnel to protect Donald Trump during an attempt to be a murder at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last year.“We are not going to set our way out of this. We are going to focus on the root cause and fix the shortcomings that put us in the position, “Matt Quinn, Deputy Director of Secret Service, told CBS News to CBS News on Wednesday (local time).“Secret service is fully accountable to Butler,” he said, “Butler was an operational failure and we are focusing on ensuring that it never happens again.” He said that on July 13, 2024, the agents involved in the security lapse, when a gunman opened fire at a trump campaign rally, was fined from 10 to 42 days unpaid leave. On returning, he was convinced for low-responsible roles. Despite a public investigation, Quinn defended the agency’s decision not to fire anyone, saying that they were focusing on addressing the root causes of failure. The incident resulted in one death, two injuries, and the gunman was killed by a secret service sniper.A new system now enables secret service agents to communicate directly through radio with local law enforcement, which was missing during the July 13, 2024 attempt to murder. That incident, with a second failed attempt -weeks later, inspired more investigations for the resignation of Kimberly Chital, Director of Secret Service. In December, a 180-stage report of a bipartished House Task Force revealed systemic leadership and training failures, cited inexperienced agents in prominent roles and poor coordination with local authorities. The MPs called the incident “tragic and stopping”.,
