At the Republican National Convention Senators Marsha Blackburn, John Barrasso, James Lankford, and Kevin Cramer confronted Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle, demanding that she “resign tonight or start answering our questions.”
The heated exchange took place as the senators chased Cheatle through the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, making it clear that they were not getting the responses they needed regarding the death threat to President Trump and allowing him to go on stage.

During their earlier briefing by Cheatle and FBI director Christopher Wray, the senators expressed frustration at being stuck in a queue and unable to obtain the answers they sought. Secret Service Deputy Director Ronald Rowe Jr. and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate were also present on the call, revealing details about the suspect and the failure to prevent the assassination attempt.
The senators continued to press Cheatle, insisting that she owed the people and President Trump an explanation for the security failure.
Senator Blackburn later stated, “It is appalling that the Secret Service Director refused to answer our questions. This is one of the greatest security failures in the history of the agency. She can run, but she cannot hide. She is a failed leader and she needs to immediately step down from her position.”
Despite mounting calls for her resignation, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi stated that Cheatle has no intentions to step down and is committed to leading the agency through internal investigations and strengthening its capabilities.
Many Republicans in Congress have joined the outcry for Cheatle’s resignation, with previous reports indicating her close ties to First Lady Jill Biden and her ascendancy to the Secret Service director role in 2022.
The showdown between the senators and Cheatle highlights the growing pressure on the agency and the leadership amidst a serious security breach, raising critical questions about the Secret Service’s ability to protect the President’s life and the need for accountability and transparency in addressing security lapses.

It’s not just about he assassination attempt, but this woman is directly responsible for the death of Cory, the firefighter, and the injuries to the other two innocent people in the stands.
DEI Hire…with DEI hiring Priorty. Needs to be FIRED!!!
D.E.I. Period.
She is at least an accessory after the fact to murder and three counts of attempted murder, among other charges, but in fact she is probably a co-conspirator to these crimes, which ought to earn her the death penalty (as well as everyone else involved).
“Cheatle…is committed to leading the agency through internal investigations and strengthening its capabilities.”
Yeah. Strengthening its capabilities to be deceitful, lying, reprehensible, seriously LAWLESS and ruled by the unelected globalist scum she supports, those Biden regime buddies. She needs to be removed. NOW.
(btw–I’m not a Trump supporter. However, no American should have to deal with her murderous mis-leadership. Not one of us.)
Se was in on the Deep State hit.
She’s there to cover it up.
Don’t kid yourself.
There is ZERO chance this assassination attempt wasn’t ordered.
Cui Bono?
Who hates and has the most to fear with DJT back in the WH?
The Deep State.
RFK Jr. now thanks Joe for withholding SS body guards.
Nothing will happen to Cheatle, It will all blow over in time and something else will catch the fancy of the news media and then the American public. The DC insiders know enough to shut up and wait out the storm.
