House Oversight Calls for US Secret Service Chief Resignation
News summary

A congressional watchdog is demanding the resignation of Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle, citing failures that may have permitted an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. This call comes on the day Cheatle is set to testify before Congress and follows a 2015 report from the House Oversight Committee that described the Secret Service as 'in crisis' due to systemic mismanagement, chronic underfunding, and a lack of confidence in leadership. Tristan Leavitt, author of the original report, indicated that the same issues persist today, highlighting inadequate security measures at a recent Trump rally in Pennsylvania. He stressed the need for an outsider to lead the agency in reforming its processes. Past incidents, including a 2014 security breach involving President Obama and an armed guard, further underscore the agency's ongoing vulnerabilities. Leavitt's concerns reflect a broader critique of the Secret Service's operational effectiveness over the years.
