Resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned following a congressional hearing where she faced criticism for failing to prevent an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The agency's failure at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, was described as the most significant operational failure in decades. Despite initial resistance, Cheatle eventually resigned amidst mounting pressure from lawmakers. President Joe Biden praised her dedication, while Trump criticized the Biden/Harris administration for not protecting him adequately.
