‘Sloping roof’ used by assassin was too dangerous for our agents, says Secret Service chief

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle discussed the challenges of securing a sloped roof during the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump at a rally. In interviews with ABC’s “Good Morning America,” she explained the safety considerations that influenced their strategy to secure the building from inside rather than positioning agents on the roof. Despite scrutiny, Cheatle confirmed her intention to remain in her role, receiving backing from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who expressed full confidence in the Secret Service’s handling of the situation.
