Secret Service veteran Dan Bongino took to X after the assassination attempt to proclaim that he “can absolutely confirm the USSS Director Kim Cheatle has repeatedly turned down requests for a larger security footprint around President Trump. Despite knowing the threat level is catastrophic.”
Bongino called on Cheatle to resign.
I want to repeat, and can absolutely confirm, the USSS Director Kim Cheatle has repeatedly turned down requests for a larger security footprint around President Trump. Despite knowing the threat level is catastrophic.

Notably, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the leader of then-Speaker Pelosi’s (D-CA) now-defunct January 6 Select Committee, introduced legislation in April 2024 targeting President Trump that would take away his Secret Service protection upon a conviction.
