A Senior National Security Analyst has called for US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to be put on leave following intense scrutiny over the agency's handling of the recent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. The Analyst stated that the Secret Service failed in their duty to protect the former President and that accountability is necessary for the agency to move forward.
The Analyst, who previously served in the Obama administration, raised several questions about the Secret Service's preparation and response to the incident, including the security of the rooftop where the gunman was positioned and the speed of the agents' response in removing Trump from the scene.
