Trump Shooting Incident Marks Significant Failure in Decades, Says Secret Service Director

ai generated text

US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has acknowledged that the agency's failure to protect former President Donald Trump from an assassination attempt on July 13 was its most significant operational failure in decades. Cheatle testified before a congressional committee, stating "On July 13, we failed" and taking full responsibility for any security lapse. The incident occurred when a 20-year-old gunman opened fire on Trump with an AR-style rifle minutes after he began speaking at a campaign event.

  1. House of Representatives
    1. What happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a double failure: the failure by the Secret Service to properly protect Donald Trump and the failure of Congress to properly protect our people from criminal gun violence.
  2. Kimberly Cheatle
    United States Secret Service
    1. There clearly was a mistake and we will make every effort to make sure that this never happens again.
    2. I will be transparent as possible when I speak with you, understanding though that at times I may be limited in providing a thorough response in this open setting due to associated risks with sharing highly sensitive protective methodologies.
  3. US
    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
    Democratic Party
    1. The notion of a report coming out in 60 days when the threat environment is so high in the United States, irrespective of parties, is not acceptable.

    Jamie Raskin
    Democratic Party
    1. I don't want to add to the director's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, but I will be joining the chairman in calling for the resignation.
  5. US
    Ro Khanna
    Democratic Party
    1. The one thing we have to have in this country are agencies that transcend politics and have the confidence of independents, Democrats, Republicans, progressives and conservatives.
  6. US
    Michael Turner
    Republican Party
    1. Not only should you resign but if you refuse to do so, President (Joe) Biden needs to fire you because his life, Donald Trump's life, and all the other people who you protect are at risk.
  7. US
    Mitch Mcconnell
    Republican Party
    1. New leadership at the Secret Service would be an important step in that direction.
  8. US
    James Comer
    Republican Party
    1. The Secret Service's protective mission is to protect US and visiting world leaders and safeguard US elections through protection of candidates and nominees.
    2. It is my firm belief, Director Cheatle, that you should resign.
