Following an investigation into the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump last month, the US Secret Service placed at least five agencies on left, including the mind of its Pittsburgh field company, according to Fox News.
One of Trump’s private defensive team and four Pittsburgh Field Office agents, including the top specific agent in charge, have been given administrative leave after almost six weeks following the incident.
The Secret Service is looking into the serious security flaw that made it possible for Thomas Matthew Crooks to blaze several photos from a nearby building.
Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned from her place less than two days after the killing and giving her first witness to Congress.
One observer died and two others received serious injuries as a result of several shots fired from an elevated location outside the protest venue, according to the Secret Service. The gunman was furthermore killed, though more details remain unknown.
FBI agents made the revelation on Monday that Crooks had climbed HVAC equipment and plumbing to the ceiling of the AGR building. From that, he moved across buildings before positioning himself in front of the former president with a direct line of sight. Crooks had furthermore flown a helicopter close to the event page the day of the protest.
During a congressional hearing on July 17th, FBI Director Christopher Wray claimed that Crooks had been existing at the march site for about 70 days prior to the attack.
During the assault, Trump, 78, was shot in the ears, with blood streaming down his face. Despite the conflict, he was immediately surrounded by his safety group and afterward emerged to march followers, pumping his fist and crying,” Battle! Battle! Struggle”!
After President Joe Biden’s departure from the race, Trump is scheduled to encounter Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the November 5 vote.
