The affected personnel include both supervisory and front-line agents, though the agency has not released their names or specific roles. The suspensions come just days ahead of the one-year anniversary of the attempted shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire with an assault rifle, grazing Trump\u2019s right ear and fatally striking a rally attendee. Crooks was killed by law enforcement moments later. A now-iconic photo of Trump, bloodied but defiant with a raised fist, quickly became a symbol of political resilience among supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An internal Secret Service review published last September found that lapses in planning and coordination led to critical vulnerabilities. A separate House report issued in October cited poor coordination between federal agents and local law enforcement. The agency has faced rare bipartisan criticism over its handling of the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Secret Service has suspended six agents for misconduct related to the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt on President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a federal official confirmed to ABC News on Wednesday.
