Donald Trump Assassination Attempt: Just 10 days after the attack on former US President Donald Trump at a rally, the director of the secret agency responsible for his security has resigned. US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned on Tuesday. Her resignation comes at a time when the US Secret Service is constantly under fire for the attack on Trump.
In fact, on July 13, former US President Donald Trump was addressing an outdoor rally when an armed man shot at him from a rooftop. The US Secret Service failed to foil this attack and was facing constant opposition due to this. This was also because the attacker who attacked Trump was on the rooftop of a building just 140 meters away from his rally, yet the Secret Service failed to catch him before the attack.
Cheatle also appeared before the House of Representatives’ Oversight Committee on Monday, where she refused to answer questions from lawmakers about the security of Trump’s rally. After this, many Democratic lawmakers, along with Republicans, demanded her resignation.
