In the first congressional hearing over the shooting at a Donald Trump campaign rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month, Director Kimberly Cheatle said she took “fully responsibility” for the security lapses, and she vowed to “move heaven and earth” to make sure there's no repeat of it.of former President Donald Trump was the Secret Service's “most significant operational failure” in decades, Director Kimberly Cheatle told lawmakers Monday as calls mounted for her to resign.
Asked about why there were no agents on the roof where the shooter was located or if the Secret Service used drones to monitor the area, Cheatle said she is still waiting for the investigation to play out, prompting groans and outbursts from members on the committee. Before the shooting, local law enforcement had noticed Crooks pacing around the edges of the rally, peering into the lens of a rangefinder toward the rooftops behind the stage where the president later stood, officials have told The Associated Press. An image of Crooks was circulated by officers stationed outside the security perimeter.
