U.S. Secret Service Director Refuses to Resign

After the assassination attempt on former President Trump at a Pennsylvania rally, U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle faced criticism for the agency's failure to prevent the incident and her refusal to resign. Despite acknowledging the system's failure, Cheatle expressed no intention of stepping down, leading to growing calls for her resignation. The Secret Service is under scrutiny for allowing the gunman to get close to Trump, with lawmakers summoning Cheatle to testify on the matter. Cheatle emphasized the agency's commitment to protecting leaders but did not provide details on the shooter's motive.
