Preparations are underway for former President Donald Trump’s upcoming campaign event in West Michigan following a failed assassination attempt. The incident has led to criticism of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, with U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga calling for her resignation. Former Secret Service agent Jason Russell defended the organization, pointing out that this is the first significant assassination attempt in over 40 years and thousands of successful operations have been carried out. Cheatle is now being subpoenaed to testify before Congress on Monday, and her office has stated that she welcomes the opportunity. Despite the recent incident, Russell believes that the Secret Service will step up its game and ensure the safety of future events. The Director’s appearance before Congress will shed more light on the situation and hopefully address concerns about the Secret Service’s ability to protect high-profile figures like former President Trump.
