此消息是在宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒对时任总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普的暗杀企图发生两年后传出的。当时的特勤局局长金伯利·奇特利曾表示,此次事件是该机构“数十年来最严重的运营失误”,此外今年早些时候白宫记者协会晚宴期间还发生了一起枪击事件。
The news comes some two years after the Butler Pennsylvania, assassination attempt against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, which then-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said was the agency's 'most significant operational failure in decades,' as well as a shooting incident at White House Correspondents' Dinner earlier this year.
奎恩在周五的社交媒体帖子中表示:“今天我向特勤局的男女同事们通报,我将卸任副局长一职。”
'Today I informed the men and women of the Secret Service that I will be transitioning out of my role as Deputy Director,' Quinn said in a social media post Friday.
他补充道:“我和局长库兰已经筹备了一个周密的过渡计划数月之久。”
'Director Curran and I have been working on a thoughtful transition plan for months now,' he added.
“为特勤局的男女同事们以及你们的所有成就感到自豪!”奎恩是一名资深特勤局特工,他在2021年退休前曾担任特工23年。他于去年5月重返特勤局,担任副局长一职。
'Proud of the men & women of the USSS and all your accomplishments!' Quinn, a longtime Secret Service agent, had retired in 2021 after spending 23 years as an agent. He returned to the Secret Service as deputy director last May.
奎恩因在CBS新闻上周日播出的《60分钟》节目中的言论而受到关注。
Quinn came under scrutiny for his remarks during a '60 Minutes' interview that aired last Sunday on CBS News.
在采访中,奎恩告诉诺拉·奥唐纳德,无人机群“构成巨大问题”,是特勤局面临的“大威胁”——即便是在白宫这样的地方。
During the interview, Quinn told Norah O'Donnell that drone swarms 'are a huge problem' and a 'big threat' for the Secret Service - even at places like the White House.
美国特勤局副局长马修·奎因。奎因周五宣布离开该机构,这一突然而然的决定是在国家首都出现一系列高调威胁和被挫败的阴谋之后作出的。FBI局长卡什·帕特尔和特勤局局长肖恩·库兰在华盛顿特区发生枪击事件后出席新闻发布会。库兰和奎因在《60分钟》的采访中承认,针对他们所保护对象的威胁案件出现了急剧上升。

Quinn announced his departure from the agency Friday, an abrupt decision that comes after a flurry of high-profile threats and foiled plots in the nation's capital FBI Director Kash Patel and Secret Service Director Sean Curran arrive to a press conference after a shooting in Washington, DC. Curran and Quinn acknowledged a sharp rise in threat cases against their protectees in a '60 Minutes' interview Then-presidential candidate Donald Trump is rushed offstage by Secret Service agents after being grazed by a bullet during a Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally in July 2024 'I'd love to tell you the swarm problem is solved.
2024年7月,时任总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普在宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒的竞选集会上被子弹擦伤后,被特勤局特工急忙从舞台上拉下。“我很想告诉你们无人机群问题已经解决。但事实并非如此,”奎因说,即使他同时强调了1600宾夕法尼亚大道的相对安全。该节目展示了库兰和奎因演示该机构的反无人机系统和技术,包括一种利用人工智能和雷达系统的系统。
It's not,' Quinn said, even as he stressed the relative safety of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The segment features shots of Curran and Quinn demonstrating the agency's counter-drone systems and technology, including a system that uses AI and radar systems.
在采访中,奎因和特勤局局长肖恩·库兰都被问及该机构在应对快速变化的威胁环境方面面临的更广泛挑战,库兰承认这种情况是他们以前从未见过的。库兰表示,自今年1月以来,特勤局已处理了约10,000起针对其保护对象的威胁案件,相比去年同期增加了“40%”。奎因的离开恰逢该机构整体在近年来难以应对威胁上升的情况——包括无人机袭击和对唐纳德·特朗普总统的威胁增加。
Both Quinn and Secret Service Director Sean Curran were pressed during the interview about the agency's broader struggle to respond to a rapidly changing threat environment, which Curran admitted was like nothing they had seen before. The Secret Service has handled some 10,000 threat cases against its protectees since January, Curran said, a '40 percent' uptick compared to the same period last year. Quinn's departure comes as the agency as a whole has struggled to respond to the rise in threats in recent years - including a rise in drone attacks and threats against President Donald Trump.
仅在过去一年里,威胁包括据称在7月于白宫南草坪举行的UFC自由250事件中的无人机阴谋袭击,该阴谋被特勤局和FBI挫败,以及4月在华盛顿特区今年白宫记者协会晚宴上的枪击事件。
In the last year alone, threats have included an alleged drone plot attack at the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House South Lawn in July, which was foiled by the Secret Service and the FBI, as well as a shooting at this year's White House Correspondents' dinner in Washington, DC, in April.
其他针对总统生命的威胁既出现在他位于佛罗里达州的高尔夫球场,也出现在2024年7月宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒市的一次竞选集会上,当时一名枪手从附近建筑物的屋顶向空中开火八枪,击中了当时的候选人唐纳德·特朗普的耳朵。
Other threats against the president's life were made both at his Florida golf course, and during a Butler, Pennsylvania campaign rally in July 2024, when a gunman fired eight rounds from the roof of a nearby building, nicking then-candidate Donald Trump's ear.
国土安全部监察长办公室6月份发布的一份报告得出结论,认为特勤局在枪手发动袭击之前错失了“多次”发现、预防和制止其行动的机会。
A DHS inspector general report published in June concluded that the Secret Service missed 'multiple' opportunities to detect, prevent, and disrupt the Butler gunman before he attacked.
“我们是否认识到威胁环境已经加剧?绝对如此,”奎因对奥唐奈尔说。
'Do we recognize the threat environment has increased? Absolutely,' Quinn told O'Donnell.
“我们如何应对以及如何改变——这就是我们更倾向于保持在[背景]中的地方,”他说。
'How we do it and how we change - that's where we prefer to stay, in [the] background,' he said.
