Both Republicans and Democrats in the US Congress called on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign following her appearance before a congressional committee on Monday. On Tuesday she sent a letter to her staff announcing her decision to step down, and President Joe Biden quickly released a statement thanking Cheatle for her years of public service and said he will soon appoint a new leader for the agency.
