By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER and FARNOUSH AMIRI WASHINGTON — The assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump was the Secret Service’s “most significant operational failure” in decades, Director Kimberly Cheatle told lawmakers Monday as calls mounted for her to resign. In the first congressional hearing over the shooting at a Trump campaign rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month, Cheatle said she took “fully responsibility” for the security lapses, and she vowed to “move heaven and earth” to make sure there’s no repeat of it. “I accept responsibility for this tragedy,” Cheatle said.
