Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle Steps Down

Kim Cheatle, Director of the Secret Service, resigned following a high-profile security failure during an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. After a tense House Oversight Committee hearing where she admitted the agency's "failure," both political parties called for her resignation. The incident, involving a gunman breaching security and injuring Trump, highlighted critical security lapses. Cheatle's resignation aims to restore confidence in the agency. President Biden praised Cheatle's service, while Deputy Director Ronald Rowe steps in as acting director. An ongoing bipartisan investigation seeks to ensure accountability and prevent future breaches.
