US Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle resigns after conceding agency failed to prevent assassination attempt on Donald Trump

The director of the US Secret Service has resigned from her position after admitting that the attempted assassination of Donald Trump amounted to a failure of her mission to protect American leaders.

The Secret Service has faced significant criticism in the week and a half since a 20-year-old gunman evaded security measures to shoot the Republican presidential candidate at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, on July 13.

As director, Kimberly Cheatle has come under intense scrutiny over why her agents were not able to prevent the shooter from taking a direct shot at the former president.
