(NewsNation) — The Secret Service has suspended six agents following last year’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Penn., a source confirms.
They were suspended following an investigation into the attempted assassination, and specifically their actions at that time, the source within the Secret Service told NewsNation.
Trial for suspect in second Trump assassination attempt delayed
The jobs of the six agents, according to the source, range from supervisory to line level.
The news comes just days shy of the one-year anniversary of July 13, 202, shooting, which occurred at a campaign rally held by then-candidate Trump during the presidential race.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was able to climb onto a roof at the property where the campaign rally was being held and fired off several shots before counter-snipers killed him. Trump and two others were injured, and rally attendee Corey Comperatore, 50, was fatally wounded as he tried to shield his family.
