Kimberly Cheatle, Director of the Secret Service, is expected to resign as soon as Monday. This development comes amid growing scrutiny over the agency's handling of security at former President Donald Trump's Pennsylvania rally. Reports suggest that the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) denied additional security resources requested by Trump's security detail. Both agencies have denied these allegations. Cheatle's resignation follows widespread criticism and calls for her immediate departure. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has also faced calls for resignation. The Washington Post broke the news about the denied resources.
