U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy on Monday introduced a resolution demanding the termination of U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle following the attempted assassination of former President Trump more than a week ago.

Cheatle was questioned on Capitol Hill Monday by the House Oversight Committee and has been called on to resign by the top Republican and Democratic lawmakers on that panel and other bipartisan members of Congress. Cheatle acknowledged her agency failed in protecting Trump but has refused to step down.

"U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle must be held accountable for the unacceptable failure to keep President Trump and rallygoers safe on July 13th," Langworthy, a Republican who represents New York's 23rd Congressional District, said in a statement Monday. "In our Oversight hearing today, she did nothing but dodge questions and deflect blame. Corey Comperatore is dead because of this failure of the Secret Service. The American people deserve transparency and competence from their leaders, especially those tasked with the critical responsibility of protecting our nation's highest office. She must be fired now.” 

A 20-year-old man perched on a nearby warehouse rooftop fired several shots at Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, striking the former president in the right ear. One rallygoer was killed, and two others were wounded. The gunman was fatally shot by a Secret Service sniper.
