The organisation is already under intense scrutiny over alleged security failures surrounding an attempt on the ex-president's life two months ago.
In the latest episode, a potential assassination attempt was averted when a Secret Service agent opened fire after spotting the barrel of a gun protruding from bushes as Trump played golf with an associate at his club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
A suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested after allegedly fleeing the scene in a black Nissan. He was charged in court on Monday with possession of a firearm as a felon.
The agency said he did not fire a shot in the incident and never had Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, in his sights.
