The U.S. Secret Service has placed at least agents on leave, including the head of the agency's Pittsburgh field office, as a result of its investigation into the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
The U.S. Secret Service has placed at least five agents on leave, including the head of the Pittsburgh field office, as a result of its investigation into last month's assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. One agent on Trump's detail and three others in the Pittsburgh office were among those placed on leave, according to two federal law enforcement sources.
When Secret Service personnel are placed on administrative leave for disciplinary reasons, they still collect their paychecks and report to the office. They are typically assigned paperwork or other administrative duties instead of performing their normal day-to-day roles.Beyond administrative leave, officials disciplined further may be granted a suspension or a suspension without pay, the latter of which typically also revokes their security clearance. That is not the case in this instance.
