Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has reportedly resigned just over a week after an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Cheatle informed agents of her decision via email on Tuesday, July 23, and a formal announcement from the Secret Service is expected later in the day. She steps down after approximately two years in the role.
Cheatle announced her resignation in an email to agency staff on Tuesday, stating, “In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your Director.” She acknowledged the scrutiny over the security lapse following the assassination attempt, noting the intense scrutiny and increasing operational demands.
Following her testimony before the House Oversight Committee on July 22, where she faced criticism from both parties regarding the security breach, Cheatle emphasized the non-political nature of the Secret Service’s mission. “Our mission is not political. It is literally a matter of life and death,” she stated during the hearing, expressing confidence in the Secret Service personnel.
In a statement on July 15, Cheatle addressed security concerns following the assassination attempt, emphasizing the dynamic nature of security planning for National Special Security Events like the Republican National Convention. The Secret Service is expected to announce interim leadership following Cheatle’s resignation.
