Secret Service Ushers Reporters Into WH Briefing Room After Security Alert

Perez has now been suspended three times in roughly 18 months, according to sources familiar with the matter

Neither the Secret Service nor the Department of Homeland Security responded to requests for comment, and Perez’s attorney said it was “premature to comment.”

The investigation is part of a broader review by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General into the Secret Service’s handling of two assassination attempts against Trump. Sources said multiple reports are in the final stages but have been delayed in part by funding issues.
