Eric Trump asked this Sunday (21) that the director of the United States Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, resign, following the assassination attempt that Donald Trump suffered last week.
Cheatle faces multiple questions about how a gunman managed to get a clear line of sight to the former president during the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“The director of the Secret Service should resign in absolute disgrace,” Eric Trump told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.
“The fact that the Biden administration could allow a former president, and most likely a future president, to be shot in the ear and have no accountability and a person continue in their job just shows how shameful and inept the government is.” , he said.
Director will be heard by Congress
Cheatle will face the US Congress in hearings into the bombing this week.
She said the Secret Service was “solely responsible” for security at the rally and that both internal and external reviews are ongoing.
A CNN previously reported that Trump’s security team had complained that it was not receiving enough resources and agents from the Secret Service over the past two years. The agency acknowledged on Saturday (20) that it denied some requests.
A Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement that the agency has not provided certain resources in the past but has instead provided other security measures, including from local partners.
