A top adviser to the Trump campaign, Chris LaCivita, has called for the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle. LaCivita made these remarks at an event where he criticized Cheatle for allegedly avoiding questions from GOP senators at the Republican National Convention.
LaCivita expressed his frustration by stating that Cheatle seemed unwilling to communicate with anyone and should step down from her position. He emphasized his stance by affirming that Cheatle should resign without hesitation.
The incident in question occurred when a group of GOP senators confronted Cheatle at the convention venue, demanding answers about the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The senators reportedly chased Cheatle as they voiced their concerns over her refusal to address the issue.
Prior to this confrontation, Cheatle had a private meeting with Trump in Milwaukee to discuss the failed assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. During an interview, Cheatle asserted that the US Secret Service held full responsibility for the security measures at the rally site.
The controversy surrounding Cheatle's handling of the security situation has sparked calls for her resignation from prominent figures within the Trump campaign. The ongoing scrutiny and pressure on Cheatle raise questions about the effectiveness of the Secret Service's security protocols and communication with key stakeholders.
