U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned in connection with the assassination attempt against former U.S. President Donald Trump. According to the agency staff, Cheatle took “full responsibility” for the security lapse, The Washington Post reports.
A few days ago, she had announced that she was not going to resign and would cooperate with the security forces to carry out the investigation. The secretary of Homeland Security and the White House press secretary had expressed complete confidence in Kimberly Cheatle, but according to the U.S. media, Cheatle faced harsh criticism from both Republicans and Democrats.
