Lauren Boebert introduced the Secret Service Accountability Act to hold Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle accountable for the agency\u2019s incompetence and failure to protect President Trump during the Butler, Pennsylvania campaign rally.\n\nCongresswoman Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, \u201cSaturday\u2019s assassination attempt on President Trump\u2019s life was either intentional or the result of gross incompetence by the United States Secret Service. Under Director Cheatle's failed leadership, the United States Secret Service has prioritized woke DEI policies over the core responsibilities of the Secret Service, including protecting our nation\u2019s leaders. This lack of leadership contributed to the first assassination attempt of a President in 43 years. Director Cheatle has got to go!\u201d\n\nBackground\n\nCongresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced the Secret Service Accountability Act to hold Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle accountable for the agency\u2019s incompetence that resulted in an assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024. Specifically, the bill 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.\n\nDuring the Butler Rally, an assignation attempt was made on President Donald J. Trump, multiple shots were fired, and President Trump was shot in the upper right ear. One attendee, Corey Comperatore, was fatally shot and another two attendees were critically injured. The gunman was killed by Secret Service agents at the scene.\n\nAccording to the United States Secret Service agency website, Cheatle is responsible for executing the agency\u2019s 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.\n\nChairman Comer of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee has called upon Director Cheatle to appear before the Committee on Monday, July 22, to answer questions about the security failures that led to the failed assassination attempt on President Trump.\n\nCosponsors of the Secret Service Accountability Act include Rep. Jeff Duncan (SC-03), Rep. Diana Harshbarger (TN-01), Rep. Cory Mills (FL-07), Rep. Tim Burchett (TN-02), Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02), Rep. Andy Ogles (TN-05), Rep. Josh Brecheen (OK-02), and Rep.
