Secret Service director resigns after Trump shooting fallout

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned Tuesday over the agency’s failure to prevent the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, according to two people familiar with the move.

Cheatle, who initially attempted to salvage her position and described herself Monday as the best person to lead the agency despite admitted failures on her watch, revealed her decision in an internal message to Secret Service employees. An agency spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
