Rep. Brendan Boyle is urging Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign in wake of the assassination attempt against former President Trump.
Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Penn., is calling on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign following an assassination attempt against former President Trump at a campaign rally last weekend in Pennsylvania. Boyle is the first Congressional Democrat to urge Cheatle to step down. 'I am calling on Director Cheatle to resign immediately following last weekend’s shooting of a Presidential candidate in Western Pennsylvania,' Boyle said in a statement on Saturday.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said he has '100% confidence' in the Secret Service after the shooting. The Secret Service operates under DHS. President Biden directed an independent review of security at the rally. Cheatle said in a statement last week that the Secret Service will cooperate in the independent review and work with Congress on any oversight action.
Republican lawmakers have vowed to conduct congressional investigations into the shooting, and Cheatle is expected to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Monday. 'Americans demand answers from Director Kimberly Cheatle about the Secret Service’s historic security failures that led to the attempted assassination of President Trump, murder of an innocent victim, and harm to others in the crowd,' Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement.
