Congress Calls For Secret Service Boss To Resign

UNITED STATES – U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle faced intense scrutiny from a bipartisan House committee over the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Cheatle described the incident as “the most significant operational failure at the Secret Service in decades.”

The shooting happened at a rally on July 13, resulting in one death and injuries to three individuals, including Trump. Witnesses reported seeing a man with a rifle on a rooftop shortly before the shots were fired.

During the hearing, lawmakers from both parties called for Cheatle’s resignation, though she has refused to step down. Committee members expressed frustration with Cheatle’s responses, noting her inability to provide details due to ongoing investigations.
