The news comes as the elite agency investigates the security failure which led to Thomas Matthew Crooks firing off several shots from the nearby AGR building. 

One bullet grazed Trump’s right ear, while firefighter Corey Comperatore was fatally struck. Rally-goers James Copenhaver and David Dutch were also shot and injured.

Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned over the incident.
