WASHINGTON: Multiple US Secret Service agents have been placed on leave following the assassination attempt against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, US media reported on Friday.
The agents put on leave include members of the Pittsburgh field office, which coordinated security for Trump´s July 13 campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, RealClearPolitics and several US TV networks said.
The Secret Service declined to comment on what it described as a “personnel matter” but said it is “committed to investigating the decisions and actions of personnel related to the event in Butler.”
“The US Secret Service´s mission assurance review is progressing, and we are examining the processes, procedures and factors that led to this operational failure,” spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.
