US Secret Service director Kim Cheatle has resigned after security failures surrounding an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
She had faced calls from both Democrats and Republicans to step down after a contentious congressional hearing on Monday about the shooting.
Lawmakers became increasingly frustrated when she refused to answer questions about the shooting at Trump's campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month.
