The head of the US Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, will face tough questions in Congress on Monday following the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Trump claimed that nobody warned him not to go on stage ahead of the incident, raising concerns about the agency’s protection protocols.
The Secret Service has come under fire after admitting that they ignored repeated calls from the Trump campaign for increased security over the past two years. This revelation has prompted calls for Cheatle’s resignation, as lawmakers and the public demand answers about why the agency failed to take action to prevent the assassination attempt.
The House oversight committee will be pressing Cheatle on the agency’s handling of the situation and demanding accountability for the lapse in security measures. The incident has reignited discussions about the safety of public figures and the importance of thorough security protocols for high-profile individuals like former President Trump.
As the investigation unfolds, the Secret Service’s reputation hangs in the balance, and the outcome of Cheatle’s testimony before Congress will likely have significant implications for the agency’s future.
