Secret Service Director Resigns Amid Security Lapses
News summary

Following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, there has been a bipartisan push for Senate confirmation of future Secret Service directors, who currently do not require Senate approval. Kimberly Cheatle, the Secret Service Director at the time of the incident, resigned amid bipartisan calls for her removal due to what she described as 'the most significant operational failure of the Secret Service in decades.' The incident revealed critical lapses, such as the failure to deploy surveillance drones and allowing Trump on stage despite spotting the shooter earlier. An independent review and a new bipartisan task force with subpoena power are underway to prevent future security lapses. FBI Director Christopher Wray disclosed that the shooter used a drone two hours before the attack, raising further concerns about security lapses. President Biden and Congress are focused on restoring trust in the Secret Service and ensuring such incidents do not recur.
