On July 23, the day after she was brutally grilled by both Democrats and Republicans during a congressional hearing, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned.
As Liberty Nation News reported, her departure from the Secret Service was all but inevitable after a colossal security failure almost led to the assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13 at a campaign rally in Butler, PA.
ABC News obtained a copy of the email Cheatle addressed “To the men and women of the US Secret Service,”
In the e-mail, she wrote:
“The Secret Service’s solemn mission is to protect our nation's leaders and financial infrastructure. On July 13th, we fell short on that mission. The scrutiny over the last week has been intense and I will continue to remain as our operational tempo increases. As your director, I take full responsibility for the security lapse.
“However, this incident does not define us. We remain an organization based on integrity and staffed by individuals of exceptional dedication and talent. As I've stated, the Secret Service will move forward with our investigatory and protective mission in a steadfast manner. We do not retreat from challenge. 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.”
