😱 "SOMEONE MESSED UP BIG": 6 Agents Off Trump Detail After Butler Assassination Attempt

Six Secret Service agents were suspended without pay or benefits following an attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania in July 2024.

Matt Quinn, the agency’s deputy director, told CBS News on Wednesday that they “weren’t going to fire [their] way out of this,” but did say they are “laser focused on fixing the root cause of the problem.”

Quinn told the outlet that the agents received penalties ranging from 10 to 42 days of unpaid leave and were assigned to restricted roles with reduced responsibilities upon their return. He added that the disciplinary measures followed a federally mandated process.

The agency faced intense criticism after the security breach that enabled gunman Thomas Crooks to open fire toward the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024.

Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old firefighter, father, and husband attending the event, was killed. President Trump was grazed by a bullet, and two other men were wounded by the gunfire. Crooks was ultimately killed by a Secret Service sniper.

“Secret Service is totally accountable for Butler,” Quinn told CBS. “Butler was an operational failure and we are focused today on ensuring that it never happens again.” He also said the agency is focusing on the “root cause” of the operational failure and fixing “the deficiencies that put us in that situation.”

Since the Butler rally, Quinn stated that the Secret Service has deployed a new fleet of military-grade drones and mobile command posts to enhance radio communications with local law enforcement, Fox News reported.

The agency faced renewed criticism weeks later following a second assassination attempt on Trump in West Palm Beach, Florida. Although the attempt was thwarted, then-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned, and the agency became the focus of multiple investigations and congressional hearings.

In December, a bipartisan House task force released a 180-page report declaring the Butler incident “preventable,” pointing to “preexisting” leadership and training deficiencies that “created an environment” conducive to security failures.

The report also noted that Secret Service did not coordinate well with local law enforcement.

Trump made some comments last week regarding the government’s investigation into one of the assassination attempts against him last year.

In response to a reporter’s query on Friday, the president said he’s “very satisfied” with the FBI’s investigation into the assassination attempt against him in Pennsylvania.

Trump made his remarks to Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese on Thursday, putting to rest months of speculation and doubt surrounding the case. Until now, Trump had stopped short of giving the FBI a full endorsement, The Daily Caller reported.

In an earlier interview with Fox News, he admitted some parts of the case didn’t sit right. “I’m relying on my people to tell me what it is … The Secret Service, they tell me, is fine. But it’s a little hard to believe,” he said.

Back in March, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told Fox News there was no evidence of some grand conspiracy against Trump. “In some of these cases, the ‘there’ you’re looking for is not there. And I know people — I get it, I understand. It’s not there. If it was there, we would have told you,” Bongino said.

That same month, Daily Caller’s Reese pressed White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about whether Trump was satisfied with Bongino’s answer.

Leavitt responded, “Well, in the lead-up to your question, you answered your own question with the president’s own words, and I’ll leave it at that.”

In May, Bongino announced investigations into some well-known cases that involve “potential public corruption.”

The cases, which appeared to be ignored during the administration of former President Joe Biden, that are getting a new look include the attempted pipe-bombing in Washington, D.C., cocaine that was found at the White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision that ended Roe v. Wade.

On My Wedding Night, My Father-in-Law Slept Between Us. At 3 A.M., I Turned Around and Saw What Was Nibbling My Back...

On Our Wedding Night, My Father-in-Law Insisted on Sleeping Between Us. At 3 A.M., I Felt Something Nibbling My Back...

Our wedding night was supposed to be the happiest night of my life.

Instead, it became a nightmare.

Just after we entered our room, the door suddenly opened.

My father-in-law walked in carrying a pillow and blanket.

“Tonight, I’m sleeping between you two,” he said calmly.

I stared at him.

“What?”

“It’s an old family tradition,” he explained. “A lucky man must sleep between the newlyweds on their first night. It’s supposed to bring the family a son.”

I turned to my husband, waiting for him to object.

He didn’t.

“Dad only needs one night,” my husband said with an awkward smile. “This is how our family does it.”

I wanted to scream.

But everyone was still celebrating downstairs. If I refused, I knew they would call me disrespectful.

So I said nothing.

I moved to the edge of the bed while my father-in-law settled between us.

I barely slept.

Then, sometime after midnight, I felt it.

Something was touching my back.

At first, I thought it was the blanket.

Then it happened again.
