Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned a little more than a week after the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump at his rally, NewsNation has confirmed.
Cheatle faced calls to step down from lawmakers in both political parties who questioned the agency’s actions in the July 13 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. On Monday, she testified publicly in front of the House Oversight Committee after a week of closed-door interviews.
Admitting that the agency “failed,” Cheatle told lawmakers that she takes full responsibility for any security lapse on the day of the attack.
