One year ago, an assassination attempt on Donald Trump occurred during an outdoor rally in Butler, Pa., where he was grazed by a bullet. A 20-year-old would-be assassin was killed by a Secret Service agent. Following an investigation, six agents were suspended. Matt Quinn, deputy director of the Secret Service, emphasized a focus on correcting deficiencies rather than punitive actions. The assassination attempt's long-term impact on the election remains uncertain, and media continues to investigate the motivations and background of the shooter.
"We are laser-focused on fixing the root cause of the problem. We aren't going to fire our way out of this. We're going to focus on the root cause and fix the deficiencies that put us in that situation. The Secret Service is totally accountable for Butler."
"This week, following an investigation, the Secret Service suspended six agents for various lengths up to six weeks."
