A source familiar with the agency told news outlets on Friday that the agency had placed five people on leave: one from Trump’s personal protection team and four from the Pittsburgh field office, including the special counsel in charge. RealClearPolitics reported details of the disciplinary measures on Thursday.

The Secret Service declined to comment on the reports, but said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.

“The U.S. 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,” said Anthony Guglielmi, U.S. Secret Service communications director. “The U.S. Secret Service’s mission security review is progressing, and we are investigating the processes, procedures, and factors that led to this operational failure.”

CNN reported that the agents were assigned administrative duties following the shooting that left one person dead and three injured, including the former president. The Secret Service is under fire from both political parties for the security breach that allowed 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks to enter a nearby building and shoot Trump eight times.

One of the bullets grazed Trump’s ear, while Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief, was struck and killed as he tried to protect his family from the gunfire. David Dutch and James Copenhaver were also injured in the shooting; Dutch was released from the hospital in late July and Copenhaver a few days later.

The security deficiencies at the rally led to massive criticism of the Secret Service, which even went so far that Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned after a controversial hearing before the House Oversight Committee.

The news that Secret Service employees are on leave because of the shooting comes after acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe heatedly told senators at a hearing on the shooting that he did not want to “jump to the specifics” of firing or removing agents from service without having all the information.

“You’re asking me, Senator, to rush to judgment on someone’s failure,” Rowe responded last month to Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), who angrily asked him why no one was fired at the time. “I admit that this was a failure. … I’m telling you I’m not going to rush to judgment, I’m going to hold people accountable, and I’m going to do it with integrity.”

House leaders have set up a bipartisan task force to investigate the shooting, while hardliners led by Reps. Cory Mills (R-FL) and Eli Crane (R-AZ) are conducting a parallel investigation of their own. The independent group will hold its first hearing next week, the same day the official bipartisan task force will hold a press conference at the scene.

Trump held his first outdoor rally since the shooting this week, surrounded by bulletproof glass as a precaution. He left the glass to help a woman who needed medical attention, surrounded by Secret Service agents.
