Secret Service officer Tony Ornato retires after 25 years amid investigation Jan. 6

Tony Ornato, the Secret Service supervisor assigned to former President Donald Trump during the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021, retired from the United States Secret Service on Monday.

Ornato was in good condition after 25 years of service, USSS spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News.

Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified before the committee from January 6 to June that Ornato told her that Trump repeatedly demanded that the Secret Service bring him to the Capitol on 6 January
