BREAKING: Secret Service Director Cheatle Resigns after Botched Assn Attempt

The director of the Secret Service resigned Tuesday in the aftermath of the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump that unleashed an outcry about how the agency failed in its core mission to protect current and former presidents.

Kimberly Cheatle, who had served as Secret Service director since August 2022, faced growing calls to resign and several investigations into how a gunman was able to get so close to the Republican presidential nominee at an outdoor campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

US Secret Service Deputy Director Ronald Rowe has been tapped to lead the agency after the resignation of Kimberly Cheatle.
