Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle announced her resignation Tuesday, less than 24 hours after appearing before the House to address security lapses in the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump's life.
Cheatle was grilled by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle at the oversight committee hearing Monday, where she took full responsibility for the security failures but refused to answer many direct questions about why more steps weren't taken to prevent the shooting.
