Hawley Announces Resolution Demanding Secret Service Director Cheatle’s Immediate Resignation

Monday, July 22, 2024

Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced that he will file a Senate resolution, calling for U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign immediately after her agency failed to protect former President Donald Trump from a preventable assassination attempt.

Last week, Senator Hawley traveled to Butler, PA—the site of the assassination attempt against President Trump—which Director Cheatle has still yet to visit.  

Senator Hawley has also written to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, demanding the facts behind the Secret Service’s botched security rollout at President Donald Trump’s July 13 rally. 

The letter included testimony from multiple whistleblowers who have contacted Senator Hawley’s office since the July 13 rally with disturbing new information behind the assassination attempt on the former president.
