Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle Resigns
Breaking – Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle resigned on Tuesday morning. This is one day after her evasive and repulsive testimony before Congress and 10 days after President Trump was shot on stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Cheatle failed in her primary job – to protect the President of the United States.
On Monday, Cheatle took full responsibility for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and the murder of Trump rally Corey Comperatore.
Members of Congress, including Speaker Johnson, called for Cheatle to resign.
