Secret Service Director Resigns Following Trump Assassination Attempt

Kimberly Cheatle steps down after bipartisan criticism over security failures during the July 13 incident.

Cheatle faced intense questioning from both parties in a House Oversight Committee hearing.
The shooter managed to graze Trump's ear and killed one rally attendee, raising concerns about Secret Service protocols.
Cheatle's resignation comes amid broader calls for accountability and systemic reforms within the agency.
An independent review commission and a bipartisan investigative task force have been established to examine the incident.
Cheatle was also named in a $7 million lawsuit, which will now proceed against her successor.
