Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle walked into a hearing room of lawmakers ready to tear into everything she said Monday morning. Some had even prepared to call for her resignation.
By the end of the heated nearly five-hour grilling, House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer and ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin agreed to jointly call for her resignation.
“Today, you failed to provide answers to basic questions regarding that stunning operational failure … we call on you to resign as Director as a first step to allowing new leadership to swiftly address this crisis and rebuild the trust of a truly concerned Congress and the American people,” Comer and Raskin wrote in a letter.
