Lawmakers Call for Secret Service Director's Resignation
News summary

Following a failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, bipartisan calls for the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle have intensified. Rep. William Timmons highlighted Cheatle's inability to provide satisfactory answers during a House Oversight Committee hearing, stating that legislators would push for her impeachment if she does not resign or is not fired. House Oversight Chairman James Comer and ranking member Jamie Raskin have jointly demanded her resignation, emphasizing the need for accountability and transparency amidst the agency's significant operational failure. Cheatle admitted the Secret Service's shortcomings but has resisted resigning, leading to widespread criticism from both parties. Many lawmakers, including prominent Democrats, have expressed disbelief at her lack of information and the proposed 60-day wait for an investigation report, fueling speculation about possible cover-ups. The hearing has fostered a rare unity among legislators against Cheatle's leadership, with calls for immediate action to restore public trust.
