Kimberly Cheatle, the head of the U.S. Secret Service, who has faced widespread criticism over the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, has admitted to the agency’s security failure in protecting Trump.
On Monday, July 22, Cheatle acknowledged before lawmakers that her agency, responsible for the security of U.S. Presidents, had committed one of its most significant lapses in recent decades.
According to her, the attempt on Trump’s life, which occurred around 10 days ago, represented “the most significant operational failure” of the Secret Service in decades.
