Rep. Steube Files Impeachment Against Secret Service Chief

Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) has filed articles of impeachment against Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, citing her 'dereliction of duty' in protecting former President Trump during an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Steube criticized the Secret Service for allowing an armed shooter to access a building close to Trump, resulting in one death and several injuries. Following Cheatle's unsatisfactory testimony before the House Oversight Committee, where she failed to address critical questions and refused to resign, Steube expressed that the agency's failure represented an 'international embarrassment.' He noted that the Secret Service had prior warnings about the shooter and that a sniper had the suspect in sight for a significant duration without intervening. Steube's impeachment articles emphasize the need for accountability within the agency's leadership and demand immediate consequences for the oversight. Cheatle has publicly stated that she takes full responsibility but will not resign from her position.
