New Delhi, US Secret Service Director Kimberly Chatley has resigned from her post. He decided to resign after taking responsibility for security lapses in the deadly attack on Trump. He was under constant pressure from the Republican Party.
Trump supporters have been calling for her resignation. “I'm glad she did the right thing,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, said at a press conference Tuesday on the Secret Service chief's resignation. He said, “They delayed it a lot. They should have done it at least a week ago.
I'm glad to see that they have heeded the appeal of both Republicans and Democrats.” “We want to maintain the confidence of the American people in the Secret Service,” he added.
As an agency, it has the critical responsibility of protecting presidents, former presidents, and other officials of the executive branch.” The Secret Service is responsible for protecting current and former presidents. Former President Donald Trump was holding a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13 when an assailant opened fire on him with an advanced rifle.
Trump survived the attack and a bullet passed near the top of his ear. A man who was protecting his family was shot and killed in this rally.
After this attack on Trump, the US Secret Service has come under fire. The Secret Service faced criticism from both Republicans and Democrats for its security failures during the incident.
Secret Service chief Cheatle appeared before the House Oversight Committee, where she refused to answer questions from frustrated MPs about the security plan and the law enforcement response. Many MPs demanded his resignation.SS1MS
