Six Secret Service agents were suspended for failures involving the assassination attempt on then-candidate Donald Trump last July in Butler, Pennsylvania, it was reported.
A Department of Homeland Security review of the shooting found that a series of law enforcement breakdowns created an environment that left Trump exposed to a would-be assassin, ABC News reported Wednesday night.
"The Secret Service does not perform at the elite levels needed to discharge its critical mission," the independent report found, according to ABC News.
"The Secret Service has become bureaucratic, complacent, and static even though risks have multiplied and technology has evolved."
The disciplined agents — each suspended between 10 to 42 days — ranged from supervisory level to line agent level, a source told the news outlet. They were allowed to appeal the penalties, which were handed down in recent months.
"We aren't going to fire our way out of this," said U.S. Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn, who told CBS News that the suspended members, upon their return to work, were put on restricted duty or given posts with less operational responsibility.
"We're going to focus on the root cause and fix the deficiencies that put us in that situation."

“”We aren’t going to fire our way out of this,” said U.S. Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn,”
Actually, yes you can.
Exactly. They just don’t have the backbone to do so.
Was the fatty SSA part of this?
Since they got their hit orders from Jill and she is as murderous as the HilaryHag, they will not talk and are untouchable.
“Was the fatty SSA part of this?”
She has been reassigned to food testing.
With or without pay? With pay is just a vacation.
Hopefully suspended, pending investigation.
Headline makes it sound like Trump’s butler was shot.
Bwahahaha
