The head of the US Secret Service, Kim Cheatle has stepped down after Donald Trump was shot at a rally earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Cheatle<\/a>\u00a0had faced calls to step down since the shooting at a Trump rally on July 13, which left one attendee dead and two others critically injured.<\/p>\n

She announced her resignation in an email to Secret Service employees Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Secret Service\u2019s solemn mission is to protect our nation\u2019s leaders and financial infrastructure. On July 13th, we fell short on that mission,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThe scrutiny over the last week has been intense and will continue to remain as our operational tempo increases. As your Director, I take full responsibility for the security lapse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Joe Biden has praised Secret Service director Kim Cheatle for her \u201cincredible integrity\u201d in resigning her position.<\/div>\n

Ms Cheatle announced she was stepping down moments ago over the agency\u2019s failures surrounding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The president said it takes honour and courage to \u201ctake full responsibility for an organisation tasked with one of the most challenging jobs in public service\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has selflessly dedicated and risked her life to protect our nation throughout her career,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe especially thank her for answering the call to lead the Secret Service during our administration and we are grateful for her service to our family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Biden added he would appoint a new director and he looked forward to the conclusions of the review into the shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know what happened that day can never happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n
