REVEALED: Secret service puts 5 officers on leave - The Real Truth

The Secret Service quietly placed at least five officers on leave in the weeks following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter, in an apparent response to a lapse in sufficient security measures at the Butler rally where the shooting occurred, which resulted in Trump's ear being injured and one man's death.   

In addition to the Pittsburgh field office head, at least three officers from that office and one member of the former president’s personal detail were also placed on leave, according to CBS News.
