Moolenaar Calls for Secret Service Director to Resign

July 22, 2024

Today, United States Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle appeared before a hearing of the House Oversight Committee following the assassination attempt against President Donald Trump on July 13.

“Americans want answers from Director Cheatle about why her agency failed to stop a deadly attack and attempted assassination. In her testimony today she was not transparent and failed to provide meaningful information. She should resign her position because the American people deserve accountability and the Secret Service deserves a better leader,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

In an interview with ABC News after the failed assassination attempt, Director Cheatle said, “the Secret Service is responsible for the protection of the former president.” She added, “The buck stops with me. I am the director of the Secret Service.”
