CBS News reported that the six Secret Service personnel were suspended without pay for up to six weeks then placed into restricted duty roles “with less operational responsibility.”
“We aren’t going to fire our way out of this,” Matt Quinn, Secret Service Deputy Director said in an interview CBS News. “We’re going to focus on the root cause and fix the deficiencies that put us in that situation.”
“Secret Service is totally accountable for Butler,” Quinn said. “Butler was an operational failure and we are focused today on ensuring that it never happens again.”
