The US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle revealed during a hearing on Monday that she has not visited the site of the recent assassination attempt. When questioned by Rep. Pat Fallon about whether she had visited the site, Director Cheatle responded in the negative, stating, 'No, I have not.'
Rep. Fallon expressed his surprise at the revelation, pointing out that it had been nine days since the incident and Director Cheatle had not yet visited the site. He emphasized the importance of her presence at the scene on the night of the attempt.
The lack of a visit to the site by the Secret Service Director has raised questions and concerns about the agency's response to the incident. Visiting the site of such a significant event is often seen as a crucial step in understanding the circumstances and ensuring a thorough investigation.
Director Cheatle's admission that she had not visited the site may lead to further scrutiny of the Secret Service's handling of the situation. It remains to be seen how this revelation will impact the ongoing investigation into the assassination attempt and what steps will be taken to address any potential shortcomings in the agency's response.
