USA, the head of the Secret Service: «We failed on the attack on Trump».
«The Secret Service's solemn mission is to protect our nation's leaders. On July 13th we failed". These are the words of the director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, in statements prepared for today's hearing before the House Oversight Committee after the attack on Donald Trump. This is reported by CNN.
«As director of the United States Secret Service, I take full responsibility for any security lapses», goes on Cheatle.
The agency, we read in the statements prepared by Cheatle, «You must know what happened e I will move heaven and earth to ensure that an incident like the one on July 13th does not happen again.".
In her testimony – alone and under subpoena – Cheatle will be forced to provide many answers to what is essentially a single question: How did the biggest intelligence failure of the past four decades happen on her watch?
In the days following the attempted murder, Cheatle held no press conferences and conducted very few interviews. Today's hearing marks the first opportunity for a lengthy discussion of the security failures at Trump's July 13 rally.
