Wednesday night, Congressman Bill Huizenga (R-MI) released the following statement calling for the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.

“Kimberly Cheatle needs to resign as the Director of the Secret Service,” said Congressman Bill Huizenga. “The 45th President of the United States and current Republican nominee for President was less than an inch away from being assassinated on her watch. I have no faith in her ability to lead the Secret Service given the absolute failure this past weekend. Her immediate resignation is only the beginning of what must happen."

“Given the multiple security lapses in protecting President Trump, the entire planning and operational process of the Secret Service must be thoroughly examined. Director Cheatle and Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas must fully comply with House Republicans in this investigation to ensure the safety of the current president as well as all former and future presidents.”
