Six members of the US Secret Service have been suspended following an investigation into security failures related to the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump last July in Pennsylvania. The armed attacker fired at Trump, with a bullet grazing his head. The suspended personnel ranged from lower-level agents to supervisors. Suspension durations vary from 10 to 42 days, with exact timing undisclosed. Some agents were placed on leave both before and after the incident due to security procedure lapses. A special agent responsible for coordinating security with local authorities in Pittsburgh faced particular criticism. The assassination attempt sparked bipartisan legislative backlash over security failures. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned under mounting political pressure. A House working group recommended improvements including recording all radio communications and creating new crisis roles. While it was concluded the shooting could have been prevented, no specific moment or decision enabling the attacker to shoot Trump was identified.
