US Secret Service boss to resign after admitting failures over Trump shooting | BBC News

The head of the US Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle has said she plans to resign following security lapses in the run up to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers called on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to step down following the assassination attempt of Donald Trump.

The demand came during and after a hearing on Monday that questioned Ms Cheatle about her agency's security preparations ahead of the 13 July rally in Pennsylvania.

The shooting left one person dead and three others, including Trump, wounded.
