The US Secret Service’s embattled leader is about to field a barrage of questions from hostile lawmakers who want her out of a job after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is set to appear Monday at a congressional hearing that will examine how the shooter eluded security and wounded Trump, the first public airing of what went wrong at the 2024 candidate’s Pennsylvania campaign rally on July 13.
