These corrective measures for line-level agents and supervisors happened in February and lasted anywhere between 10 and 42 days. At this time, no agents were fired, with the Secret Service telling Fox that the failure fell on the agency as a whole and not singular persons. A Senate report regarding these failures is believed to come out soon.
Back on July 13, 2024, the president barely dodged death, moving his head with just a quick enough response time to avoid a fatal shot. Since then, he overcame all odds of securing a re-election, was inaugurated, had one of the most successful first 100 days of any president and has now acted as a key player in the ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Perhaps most notable is how frequent Trump credits God for saving his life, and Christian values have been accepted and praised in his administration, including with the creation of the Faith Office.
As the nation reflects on the events of that harrowing day nearly a year ago, the suspension of these agents marks a sobering reminder of the cost of vigilance and the weight of responsibility in protecting those in authority. As Trump now has a renewed focus on faith and purpose, his survival marks not just a political moment, but a spiritual turning point.

While Trump continues to lead with a visible dependence on God, Christians are reminded that the Lord raises up leaders for His purpose. Now more than ever, the church is called to pray, discern and stand firm as history continues to unfold under the sovereign hand of God.
