🚨🚨BREAKING: Secret Service Agent Marquez Pinder was arrested and charged today with five felonies in a near-fatal hazing incident that took place in April, according to court documents. In June, I exclusively reported that a Secret Service agent was put on administrative leave and was being investigated by local authorities in Miami for a hazing incident that caused severe damage to a pledge's kidneys and required immediate hospitalization. See full original @RCPolitics story below. Pinder, 29, who was booked in a Miami jail today, faces felony charges of hazing, attempted manslaughter and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. I'll include those records below. Many current and retired agents have argued that the agency’s ongoing DEI issues and lowering of hiring standards, as well as manpower shortages in recent years have weakened the agency’s ability to prevent or respond properly to multiple assassination attempts against President Trump. The Secret Service safely protected a heavily fortified rescheduled White House Correspondents Dinner on Friday. Agency leadership instituted several new security measures and checkpoints never before used for that particular event along with a scaled-back guest list of 700 compared to the usual 3,000 attendees, On April 25, during the originally scheduled dinner, would-be assassin Cole Tomas Allen shot past a security checkpoint at dinner. Allen tripped before he was apprehended by the Secret Service 45 yards from the stairs leading to the ballroom where the dinner was being held.
