Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle resigns over Trump shooting: Reports

The head of the United States Secret Service is stepping down over the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, US media outlets are reporting.
The Associated Press news agency said Kimberly Cheatle sent an email to staff on Tuesday announcing her plans to step down.
Cheatle has been under pressure from US lawmakers to resign as questions continue to swirl around security protocols at Trump’s July 13 rally in Pennsylvania, where the former president and Republican presidential nominee was shot in the ear.
“I take full responsibility for the security lapse,” Cheatle said in the email to staff. “In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your director.”
The Secret Service director had faced angry questions during a US congressional committee hearing on Monday over the agency’s security plan at the Trump rally.

pray for all brothers and sisters, Please pray for Bangladesh from the hands of the tyrant illegal Hasina, College varsity students are teachers, Thousands of children are missing and murdered under the illegal government of Hasina, How helpless it looks from outside this country. Not being able to communicate with our people, not being able to find out about our agitating brothers and sisters, what a terrible pain. Those who are outside the country would understand how much every person is struggling now. Take care, May Allah protect the people of Bangladesh from this illegal Hasina mafia and keep the people of Bangladesh in custody, At present, Pachata is not excepted. The army came and put people in danger. They destroyed the basic rights of the people 4 times in a row. I am making, the young women of the country are being shot and you will watch silently, may Allah guide everyone.

Police BGB and Bangladesh Army are directly attacking and shooting and throwing bombs at students protesting against quota in Bangladesh. All internet systems in Bangladesh have been shut down for 4/5 days. And the dictator government of Bangladesh is using this administration against the students. Already more than 1000 students have been killed and several thousand more students are injured. Save us, save the people of our country, please support us.
