Kimberly Cheatle, U.S. Secret Service Director, stepped down from this role in the aftermath of bipartisan calls for her resignation. The House held a hearing over the Secret Service’s failure to prevent an assassination attempt against Donald Trump. The hearing did not appear to go well for Cheatle, contributing to politicians from both sides of the political isle asking her to resign.<\/p>\n

“As a leader, it takes honor, courage, and incredible integrity to take full responsibility for an organization tasked with one of the most challenging jobs in public service,” Biden said. “We all know what happened that day can never happen again. As we move forward, I wish Kim all the best.”<\/p>\n

Cheatle said, though, that the “incident does not define us.”<\/p>\n

“We remain an organization based on integrity and staffed by individuals of exceptional dedication and talent,” she wrote, adding that the agency “will move forward with our investigatory and protective mission in a steadfast manner.”<\/p>\n

“We do not retreat from challenge,” she wrote. “However, I do not want my calls for resignation to be a distraction from the great work each and every one of you do towards our vital mission.”<\/p>\n

Cheatle said that when she got the call asking whether she would return to the Secret Service after her brief retirement from the agency, she said she “did not hesitate.”<\/p>\n

“I love this agency, our mission, and the great men and woken who sacrifice so much every day,” she wrote. “I have, and will always, put the needs of this agency first.”<\/p>\n

“In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that, I have made the difficult decision to step down as your Director,” Cheatle wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
