US Secret Service Director Resigns After Being Grilled Over Trump Assassination Attempt

US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned following bipartisan calls for her to step down due to the agency's failure to prevent an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally. Trump was wounded in the ear, one rally attendee was killed, and another was injured after a gunman fired from a nearby rooftop. The suspected shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, was killed by law enforcement. This incident sparked intense scrutiny over the Secret Service's role. Cheatle, who had been in her role since August 2022, faced harsh criticism during a congressional hearing where lawmakers expressed their disappointment and lack of confidence in her leadership. President Joe Biden thanked Cheatle for her service and announced plans for an independent review and the appointment of a new director.

These are the kind of things that occur when people are given jobs because they tick all the boxes, not because they are competent but because they fit the inclusive/equality agenda.

Think she resigned only after talking with joe and he thanked her for at least trying to get it done but she failed and became a disposable asset so she resigns with pay im sure, and i wonder how she has a net worth of $10m

[walterwlee]

she will collect her pension and get a book deal from andrew mccabe's publisher and make $millions; book title, "how to carry out a coup and get away with it."

[limrobert]

Hopefully, Cheatle can write a book about the whole episode involving all involved, the Secret Service, and the FBI

Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. Low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Michael Elmore. You've helped my family with your advice. Imagine investing $30, 000 and receiving $95, 460 after 28 days of trading
