Secret Service Places Multiple Agents on Leave Amid Trump Assassination Attempt Investigation

The U.S. Secret Service has placed at least five agents on leave, including the head of the Pittsburgh field office, following an investigation into an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Among those placed on leave are one agent from Trump's detail and three others from the Pittsburgh office. The investigation centers on how a 20-year-old gunman was able to fire eight rounds at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, one of which grazed Trump's ear. The Secret Service is conducting a "mission assurance review" and examining the factors leading to the security breach. The incident resulted in the death of a Pennsylvania firefighter and injuries to two other spectators. The gunman was killed by a Secret Service sniper. The investigation has prompted congressional scrutiny, with both the House and Senate demanding answers and records related to the assassination attempt and the Secret Service's response.
