Daniel Webster U.S. House of Representatives from Florida | Official U.S. House Headshot
Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, has called for the resignation of United States Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle following a briefing on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
"I just received a briefing from the Department of Justice and Homeland Security on the assassination attempt against President Donald Trump, and it’s abundantly clear that United States Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle must resign," stated Webster.
He further elaborated on his position: "USSS Director Cheatle should take responsibility for the failure to stop the shooter before he attempted to assassinate President Trump and kill and harm others. I have many questions about the security failures that took place, and I am confident that the House will conduct a thorough investigation into the attack, but the United States Secret Service needs a director who can successfully carry out the duties of the job."
