U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle admitted to Congress on Monday (July 22) that she and her agency failed when a would-be assassin wounded Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at a July 13 campaign rally in Pennsylvania this week.
/”We failed. As the director of the United States Secret Service, I take full responsibility for any security lapse,/” Cheatle, who faces Republican calls for her removal, said in testimony before the House of Representatives Oversight Committee.

/”The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on July 13th is the most significant operational failure at the Secret Service in decades,/” Cheatle said.
Monday’s hearing marked the first round of congressional oversight of the attempted assassination. On Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray will appear before the House Judiciary Committee. And House Speaker Mike Johnson is also due to unveil a bipartisan task force to serve as a nexus point for House investigations.

Cheatle has resisted calls for her resignation from top Republicans including Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
