Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle speaks during a Republican National Convention security press conference on June 6 in Milwaukee.
Top Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita said on Thursday that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle should resign.
“Clearly, the director has no intention of saying sh*t to anybody” because she hurried away from a group of GOP senators at the Republican National Convention, LaCivita said Thursday during a Politico interview in the CNN-Politico Grill at the RNC in Milwaukee.
The senators chased down Cheatle through the convention venue on Wednesday night as they shouted that she had refused to answer questions regarding the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
The day prior, Trump received a private, in-person briefing with Cheatle in Milwaukee regarding the failed assassination attempt at his Butler, Pennsylvania, rally, a source familiar with the meeting told CNN.
Cheatle told CNN in an interview Tuesday evening that the US Secret Service was “solely responsible” for the implementation and execution of security at the site of Saturday’s rally.
