The Senate Committee has uncovered documents revealing that a Secret Service team failed multiple basic protocols before an assassination attempt on former President Trump's butler, and six agents were subsequently suspended without pay.
Documents obtained by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs reveal that the Secret Service team assigned to protect Donald Trump's 'Butler' rally failed multiple basic protocols before an assassination attempt occurred, resulting in six agents being suspended without pay. The USSS agents' failures included not securing the scene properly after the event, failing to provide adequate security for the area surrounding the venue, and neglecting to conduct a thorough risk assessment of potential threats. The investigation found that these lapses in protocol created an environment conducive to an attack. The six suspended agents are expected to face disciplinary action.
