Now, after an internal investigation into how the Secret Service prepared for the rally, “multiple” officials have apparently been placed on leave.

New bodycam footage shows tensions before Trump shooting
The attack in Butler saw the Republican presidential nominee drop to the ground as he was shot in the ear before being swiftly rushed off-stage by security staff.
One spectator was killed and two others were seriously injured in the attack.
Anthony Guglielmi, a Secret Service spokesman, said in a statement: “The US Secret Service is committed to investigating the decisions and actions of personnel related to the event in Butler, Pennsylvania and the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump.
“The US Secret Service’s mission assurance review is progressing, and we are examining the processes, procedures and factors that led to this operational failure”.
Mr Guglielmi added: “The US Secret Service holds our personnel to the highest professional standards, and any identified and substantiated violations of policy will be investigated by the Office of Professional Responsibility for potential disciplinary action.
“Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further.”
