Pressure is mounting on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle following the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump, with several lawmakers calling for her resignation.

Key Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have demanded her removal.

At the Republican National Convention, frustrated GOP senators publicly confronted Cheatle over the incident.

Additionally, criticisms have extended to the agency’s diversity practices and the acknowledgment that the Secret Service previously denied some Trump campaign security requests.

Democrats, too, are scrutinizing Cheatle’s leadership, The Hill has reported.

Rep. Brendan Boyle has called for her resignation, citing operational failures.
