The director of the U.S. Secret Service admitted to failing to stop the gunman and will take full responsibility for the assassination attempt on Trump
ChainCatcher News, U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle stated that she will take full responsibility for the security lapses related to the attempted assassination of Trump.
"The solemn mission of the Secret Service is to protect the leaders of our nation," Cheatle will tell lawmakers on Monday. "On July 13, we failed to do that." On Monday, Cheatle will make the above remarks at a congressional hearing, where she will face the most intense questioning since the shooting incident. The hearing will last for several hours, with dozens of lawmakers expected to question her, including some calling for her resignation. The shooting at the Trump campaign rally has created a crisis for the U.S. Secret Service, which acknowledged over the weekend that it had rejected previous requests for enhanced protection.
