Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign after Trump shooting security lapses

Kimberly Cheatle plans to step down from her position as director of the U.S. Secret Service after facing pressure from lawmakers who called for her to resign in the wake of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

Four sources familiar with the matter confirmed Cheatle's plans to resign.

Trump was speaking at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13 when a shooter opened fire from the rooftop of a building overlooking the crowd and the stage. The gunman, later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, killed one attendee and wounded two others.
