US Secret Service Official Retires Following Trump Assassination Attempt

Assistant Director Michael Plati's departure comes as the agency faces scrutiny over security lapses during the July attack.

Michael Plati, who oversaw protective operations, is retiring after 27 years with the Secret Service.
The decision is reportedly linked to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Plati's retirement coincides with heightened scrutiny and internal investigations within the agency.
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned in July due to criticism over the same incident.
Congress is set to be briefed on the security failures and lessons learned from the assassination attempt.
