STORYLINE:
The director of the Secret Service is stepping down from her job following the assassination attempt against former U.S. President Donald Trump that unleashed intensifying outcry about how the agency tasked with protecting current and former presidents could fail in its core mission.
Kimberly Cheatle had served as Secret Service director since August 2022.
Cheatle announced her departure in an email she sent to staff.
Cheatle had been facing growing calls to resign and several investigations into how the shooter was able to get so close to the Republican presidential nominee at an outdoor campaign rally in Pennsylvania
Her resignation comes a day after she appeared before a congressional committee and was berated for hours by both Democrats and Republicans for the security failures, where she said she took "responsibility for this tragedy."
