On July 17, 2024, Chairwoman Elise Stefanik called for the resignation of USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle. In her statement, Stefanik criticized the United States Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security under President Joe Biden for what she described as a significant security lapse.
"The Director of USSS and Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security have abysmally failed to deliver immediate transparency and answers that are owed to the American people. Most importantly, it was an absolute massive security failure leading to the assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump on Saturday," Stefanik said.
She further emphasized her demand for accountability: "I am calling for the immediate resignation of USSS Director Kimberly Cheadle. We will work to ensure ALL answers and transparency are immediately delivered to the American people."
