Lumen Technologies hires Sean Alexander as head of Connected Ecosystems
Investing.com -- The Secret Service has suspended six agents without pay in connection with security failures at a Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign event where President Donald Trump was wounded and a rallygoer was killed.
The suspensions, which range from 10 to 42 days, include some supervisors, according to a report from the Washington Post, citing an official who spoke anonymously because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter.
The disciplinary actions come nearly a year after the July 13, 2024, shooting where 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks fired at Trump from a nearby rooftop. The attack killed attendee Corey Comperatore. A Secret Service sniper returned fire and killed Crooks.
An internal assessment found the Secret Service was responsible for major lapses in planning and communications at the Butler rally. The shooting prompted bipartisan outrage and multiple reviews of the security failures, along with calls for significant reforms within the agency.
