US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle plans to resign from her job in the wake of the assassination attempt of Donald Trump, according to CBS news.
Cheatle testified for nearly six hours during a contentious House committee hearing on Monday where she took responsibility for the security lapses and acknowledged that the incident marked “the most significant operational failure of the Secret Service in decades”.
But lawmakers ridiculed her answers and the lack of information the agency had made public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle called for Cheatle’s resignation. It’s unclear when she intends to step down.
