Secret Service Director Admits Failure in July 13 Trump Assassination Attempt in Butler, PA
Jul 22, 2024, 02:22 PM
U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle testified before the House Oversight Committee regarding the agency's failure to prevent the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Cheatle admitted that the Secret Service 'failed' in its mission during the July 13 incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, which she described as the most significant operational failure in decades. The hearing saw Cheatle facing intense scrutiny and calls for her resignation from lawmakers, including Committee Chairman James Comer. Cheatle took full responsibility for the security lapses and stated that all requested resources for the Trump rally were provided. She emphasized the need for more resources and cooperation with ongoing investigations. The attack was carried out by a 20-year-old gunman.
