Secret Service Director Resigns After Trump Rally Shooting
July 23, 2024
Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle resigned following the grueling grilling over the Trump rally shooting. The news broke seconds after House Speaker Mike Johnson demanded she step down. In an email to Secret Service agents, Cheatle wrote "It is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your director." She was appointed in 2022 partly due to the bond she developed with the Bidens when she was part of their security detail during his vice president days.
