U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is stepping down after widespread calls by lawmakers for her to resign following the attempted assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on July 13, three sources told NBC News.
The Oversight Committee, in rare agreement, called for her to resign, and Nancy Mace filed the Articles of Impeachment.
She had little choice. Secret Service was revered, and those brave men and women deserve that. We need to restore their reputation, and this is a start.
She is stepping down so she might be going to a lesser position. I’m not certain she is leaving.
Make no mistake, a change in leadership does not mean the failures of that day have been remedied, or that the American people have forgotten. pic.twitter.com/O60s4ueKGH
