Rep. Webster Calls for Secret Service Director Cheatle to Resign

Clermont, FL -
Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, released the following statement after receiving a bipartisan member briefing regarding the attempted assassination of 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."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."
