Cheatle Resigns After House Impeachment Threat

July 24, 2024 By The Editors

After being grilled by the members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and threatened with impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors, U.S. Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle handed in her resignation after resisting such a move since calls for it began after the near assassination of Donald Trump. Newsmax reports:

U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned Tuesday after the agency came under harsh scrutiny for its failure to stop a would-be assassin from wounding former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally, she announced.

“I take full responsibility for the security lapse,” Cheatle said in an email to staff, obtained by the Associated Press. “In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your director.”

President Joe Biden released a statement Tuesday, thanking Cheatle for her nearly three decades in the Secret Service and said she had “selflessly dedicated and risked her life to protect our nation throughout her career.”

“We all know what happened that day can never happen again,” Biden said in a statement. “As we move forward, I wish Kim all the best, and I will plan to appoint a new director soon.”

The Secret Service, which is responsible for the protection of current and former presidents, faces a crisis after a gunman was able to fire on Trump from a roof overlooking the outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.

Cheatle faced bipartisan condemnation when she appeared before the House of Representatives Oversight Committee on Monday, declining to answer questions from frustrated lawmakers about the security plan for the rally and how law enforcement responded to the suspicious behavior of the gunman. Her resignation came less than 24 hours later.

“It is overdue, she should have done this at least a week ago,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters. “I’m happy to see that she has heeded the call of both Republicans and Democrats.”
