Exclusive | Secret Service agent from Trump protective detail at Butler assassination attempt suspended, along with 5 from Pittsburgh field office: sources

A Secret Service agent from President Trump’s protective detail was suspended, along with several from the Pittsburgh field office as the agency meted out discipline for the failures that led to the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt, sources tell The Post.

Six agents were given suspensions of 10 to 45 days following calls for accountability after Trump was wounded when a sniper crawled on a rooftop and fired several times at the then-GOP frontrunner.

One agent, who was sent to do a walk-through of the site in Butler, Pennsylvania, and help coordinate security for the campaign event was disciplined, law enforcement sources said.

Four leaders from the Pittsburgh field office were also suspended, the sources said — in addition to an agent on the counter-sniper team.

Two weeks after the failed assassination attempt, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, a 28-year veteran of the agency, resigned in disgrace after weathering bipartisan calls for her to step down.

Cheatle was replaced by Sean Curran, who was on the stage with Trump during the attempt on his life. 

Trump appointed him to the role in January.

The identities of the suspended agents have not yet been released, but the source said none of the agents in the iconic “Fight! Fight! Fight!” photo featuring Trump with a bloodied ear were disciplined.

Sources said they did exactly what they were supposed to do that day.
