U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is resigning following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.

Her resignation comes one day after she was grilled by lawmakers about the security failures that allowed a 20-year-old to climb on a roof just 150 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking. The gunman fired several shots before he was killed by a sniper. The bullets grazed Trump's ear and struck several people in the crowd, leaving one man dead and two others injured.

Lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee were unhappy with Cheatle's testimony as she refused to answer many of the questions they threw at her.

"Today, you failed to provide answers to basic questions regarding that stunning operational failure and to reassure the American people that the Secret Service has learned its lessons and begun to correct its systemic blunders and failures," Chairman James Comer and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin wrote in a joint letter to Cheatle hours after the hearing ended .
