Secret Service director steps down after Trump assassination attempt

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — The director of the Secret Service resigned Tuesday in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump that unleashed an outcry about how the agency failed in its core mission to protect current and former presidents. AP AUDIO: Secret Service director steps down after assassination attempt against ex-President Trump at r AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports the Secret Service’s chief has resigned after the attempt on Donald Trump’s life. She called the attempt on Trump’s life the Secret Service’s “most significant operational failure” in decades, but she angered lawmakers by failing to answer specific questions about the investigation. A few years ago, there was a movement to shift the agency back to the Treasury Department, where it was housed before Sept. 11, particularly because Homeland Security’s intense focus on immigration added to the growing divide between what the Secret Service sees as its dual missions — protecting the president and investigating financial crime — and the mission of its parent department.
