Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned following intense scrutiny and bipartisan criticism over her agency's handling of security for former President Donald Trump leading up to a recent assassination attempt.
Cheatle's resignation comes a day after a contentious appearance before the House oversight committee. During the session, lawmakers from both parties expressed significant dissatisfaction with Cheatle's responses to questions about the shooting that occurred at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The attack resulted in injuries to Trump, the death of an attendee, and injuries to two others.
At the end of the hearing, the committee’s top Democrat and Republican chair jointly called for Cheatle's resignation.
