US Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle has resigned following severe criticism over security lapses that led to an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In her resignation letter, Cheatle took full responsibility for the incident, expressing her sadness over the decision and acknowledging the intense scrutiny the agency has faced. Lawmakers from both parties had called for her resignation after a contentious House committee hearing where she was unable to provide satisfactory answers regarding the security failures.
President Joe Biden acknowledged her decades of service and announced the appointment of Ronald Rowe, a seasoned Secret Service veteran, as acting director. An independent review into the July 13 shooting incident is ongoing, with Biden underscoring that such a lapse in security should never happen again. Cheatle had a long career with the agency, including her role in evacuating then-Vice President Dick Cheney during the 9/11 attacks, faced mounting pressure following the failed protection at Trump’s rally.
The House Oversight Committee’s hearing revealed significant concerns about the agency’s preparations and response to the incident, where a bullet grazed Trump’s ear, killed one attendee, and injured two others. Witnesses described seeing the gunman, allegedly a lone wolf named Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was later killed by a counter sniper. Cheatle’s inability to clarify key details during the hearing led to bipartisan calls for her resignation.
This is hands-down the most powerful and relevant exchange of the entire hearing from @RepPatFallon
This alone is enough to warrant firing Kim Cheatle, charging Kim Cheatle, and jailing Kim Cheatle.

My guess she was fired.
She should be in Gitmo for conspiracy to murder a presidential contender.
She probably resigned in order to avoid further questions, like why the engagement rules were changed the day before the rally such that the counter snipers were not allowed to fire unless they or the person they were protecting was being fired upon. Since the US SS was founded in 1901, the counter snipers are allowed to use any and all means necessary to protect their VIP. The change to the rules the day before almost ensured that President Trump would be shot.

Don’t know how true this is because RRN I think publishes the “essence” of what is going on behind the scenes, not necessarily accurate names and dates.
