Cheatle and the Secret Service have been facing intense scrutiny over security lapses related to the assassination attempt.

There were bipartisan calls in Congress for her to step down and Republicans wanted to impeach her.

Frustration grew after she testified before Congress Monday and was unwilling to answer many of the committee’s questions.

Cheatle’s resignation comes as lawmakers and a government watchdog continue to investigate the agency’s handling of Trump’s protection.

President Biden thanked Cheatle for her service and said he will appoint a new director soon.
