Secret Service Agents Remain Unpaid Amid Ongoing Congressional Standoff After WHCA Shooting Incident
The Secret Service agents still unpaid due to the ongoing Dem-led government shutdown are under fire after a shooting near President Trump and several Cabinet members on Saturday night, amid an ongoing standoff in Congress.
The Secret Service is still awaiting payment for agents involved in a shooting near President Donald Trump and several Cabinet members on Saturday night due to an ongoing congressional shutdown led by Democrats. The incident has put a spotlight on the agency's funding shortfall amid the standoff. The Secret Service had previously been reimbursed for expenses related to the 2020 presidential inauguration, but that reimbursement was not extended this year. The agents' unpaid expenses are just one aspect of the growing list of consequences facing federal agencies due to the partial shutdown.
