Various Secret Service agents have been placed on leave following alleged plot involving President Trump's assassination, as reported by U.S. media outlets.
July 13's occurrences in Butler, Pennsylvania, are still being investigated, revealed Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi. "We're delving into the methods, routines, and influences that resulted in this operational blunder."
Donald Trump barely escaped death during his campaign rally on the 13th, with a bullet barely touching his right ear. Regrettably, one attendee lost his life, while two others suffered severe wounds. The suspected attacker, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, met his end due to a Secret Service sniper's bullet.
Consequently, the Secret Service's director, Kimberly Cheatle, had already handed in her resignation due to the assassination attempt on Trump and what seemed like the agency's failure to provide adequate protection. The Secret Service is accountable for safeguarding incumbent and former American presidents.
After the attempted assassination on Donald Trump during his rally, there were calls for a thorough investigation into the security measures in place. Despite the incident, Trump continued his campaign rallies, demonstrating his resilience.
