Brentwood, TN – U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) released the following statement on the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.
“Accountability must start at the top, and I’m glad to see Kimberly Cheatle come to the right decision – one that should have been made 10 days ago,” said Senator Blackburn. “Director Cheatle not only failed to do her duty as a leader, but she has consistently failed to provide forthcoming answers about the Secret Service’s operations on Saturday, July 13. Under her watch, President Trump was nearly assassinated, an innocent American was murdered, and other rally attendees were harmed. Make no mistake: while this is a positive step toward accountability, we need to know exactly what happened to ensure it never happens again.”
