Presidential election 2024 LIVE — Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to admit they ‘failed’ Trump before Congress

THE Secret Service’s embattled chief is set to admit the agency failed former president Donald Trump during an assassination attempt earlier this month.

Kimberly A. Cheatle appeared on Capitol Hill on Monday morning as she faces mounting calls to step down over the shooting.

Lapses in security at the Trump rally on July 13 allowed would-be assassin Thomas Crooks to open fire on the GOP nominee, grazing his ear and killing an attendee.

Cheatle is expected to tell the House oversight committee she takes “full responsibility” for the security lapses.

“The Secret Service’s solemn mission is to protect our nation’s leaders,” she plans to say.

“On July 13, we failed.”
