Kimberly Cheatle, director of the Secret Service, addressed concerns regarding the security failures that led to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. In an interview, Cheatle took responsibility, stating that the 'buck stops with me' when questioned about accountability.
One of the key issues raised was how the shooter managed to access a rooftop overlooking the stage where the former president was present, without law enforcement presence. Cheatle explained that the shooter had been flagged as a potential threat, prompting units to respond. However, due to the rapid unfolding of events, by the time the individual was located, they had already positioned themselves on the rooftop and fired at Trump.
