U.S. Secret Service agents placed on leave after Trump assassination attempt

The U.S. Secret Service has placed multiple agents on administrative leave after last month's assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. It's the first disciplinary action taken against the field office, which was responsible for the security planning ahead of the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

"CBS Saturday Morning" co-hosts Jeff Glor, Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson deliver two hours of original reporting and breaking news, as well as profiles of leading figures in culture and the arts. Watch "CBS Saturday Morning" at 7 a.m. ET on CBS and 8 a.m. ET on the CBS News app.

Placed on leave???
They should have been fired and most likely prosecuted.

[chuck]

They allowed this to happen. Criminal charges are appropriate.

[BloodSweatandFears]

No matter who you side with, the secret service needs to be competent enough to protect them. It’s really that simple.

[ryanturner]

The glass is doing a better job than the secret service did.

[johnbrower]

So basically if you work for the Secret Service and don't do your job, you get a paid vacation

[Sam-edm]

Administrative leave isn't punishment. It may hurt their ego, but they get some time in the office or at the beach.

[Foxentails]

Don't forget they let the kid get the shot off and that resulted in a father in the crowd being killed.

[jeanniecosgrove]

Sorry they need fired, No if's and but's about it..and charged with dereliction of duty.

[scottfearing]

Administrative leave is just another way of saying paid vacation.! Ridiculous.

[Ronocalezan]

They all should have received their walking papers right along with the director.

[boonehouston]

Start telling us about the kids encrypted accounts in multiple other countries.

On leave from CBS: the "Fight! Fight! Fight!" image.

[jeffr]

“Reassigned”, or “Suspended”???
I’ve seen news reports this morning stating both. Can’t anyone just report the truth anymore?

[kaydenpat]

What assassination attempt? His ear miraculously healed. 😂😂😂

[NootNoot]

What about the coke found in white house?

“The only lives that truly matter are those who respect the lives of others“.

[PinoyPewAtbp]

People sees secret service as a waste of taxpayers money.

[stephenkiely]

No, you don't put multiple SS agents on leave after July 13 and call it a day. You fire the top five SS bosses especially the one(s) that were responsible for the "protection" of Trump on July 13th. As far as I know, that has not happened.

[HenryAndersen]

Demand #transparency with regard to the investigation. Including medical forensic info.

The worse news finally came out. That's why they are being put on leave. And that is, the secret service was not the one who took the shooter out, but a local SWAT team member.
