The retirements were planned before the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a would-be assassin shot Trump in the ear, sources tell CNN. However, the departures leave a gap in leadership experience as the agency tries to chart a new path forward. These departures come after Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle stepped down in the days after the rally shooting, as well as the retirement earlier this month of the agency official who oversaw protective operations. A Secret Service agent shot and killed the would-be assassin during the July rally. CNN has reached out to the Secret Service for comment.
