July 23rd, 2024 by WCBC Radio

The head of the Secret Service is resigning her position. Following five hours of testimony on Monday on Capitol Hill , Kiimberly Chealte is stepping down.  She testified for five hours on Capital Hill yesterday about security lapses in Secret Service coverage of former President Donald Trump.  Those lapses led to a gunman being able to shoot at the president at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, killing one rally attendee and injuring others.  Previously, Cheatle had said she would not resign her position.
