Rep. Lauren Boebert has introduced legislation to hold Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle accountable for the agency’s failure to protect President Trump during Saturday’s Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally.
The Secret Service Accountability Act explicitly prohibits any federal funds from being used to pay the salary or expenses of Kimberly Cheatle, the Director of the United States Secret Service.
A press release from the congresswoman’s office explains, “According to the United States Secret Service agency website, Cheatle is responsible for executing the agency’s integrated mission of ‘protection and investigations by leading a diverse workforce.’ Cheatle is directly responsible for prioritizing woke DEI practices rather than focusing on hiring the best people to work for the agency.”
Boebert’s office noted that House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer has asked Director Cheatle to appear before the Committee on Monday,
