00:00U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle resigns as the agency comes under harsh bipartisan
00:06scrutiny for failure to stop a would-be Donald Trump assassin.
00:10The gunman was able to fire on Trump from a roof overlooking the outdoor rally in Butler,
00:14Pennsylvania on July 13.
00:16Cheadle appeared before the House of Representatives Oversight Committee on Monday, July 22, but
00:21declined to answer questions about the security plan.
00:25Much of the criticism focused on the failure to secure the roof, which was declared outside
00:29the Secret Service security perimeter.
00:31Cheadle told lawmakers she took responsibility for the shooting, calling it the largest failure
00:36by the Secret Service since President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981.
00:41President Joe Biden says he would appoint a successor soon.
