Secret Service Director Cheatle Resigns

A day after she appeared before a congressional committee, angering the committee for failing to answer specific questions about the investigation, calling the attempt on Trump’s life the Secret Service’s “most significant operational failure” in decades, for which she took full responsibility, Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, has resigned.

Update: Home Land Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has appointed Ronald L. Rowe, Jr. as acting Secretary Service Director. Previously the deputy director of the Secret Service since April 2023, Mr. Rowe has been with the agency for 24 years.
