U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle officially announced her resignation Tuesday after being grilled by Congress for failing to prevent the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at his Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign.
Cheatle was questioned by the House Oversight Committee on Monday, with politicians in both major parties exposing her lack of leadership and inability to sufficiently answer their queries.
The USSS director repeatedly stated she would not be quitting her job, even echoing the claim during Monday’s congressional hearing.
Following the Monday hearing, House Judiciary Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) issued a joint letter urging Cheatle’s resignation as her answers undermined confidence in her ability to lead the agency.
