Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino called for the resignation of \u200dDirector Kimberly Cheatle due to the security failure. Bongino questioned \u2062the agency&#8217;s response and criticized their lack of accountability. Witnesses at the event where the attempt took\u2064 place claim\u200c they tried to warn authorities before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-biden-pushes-ban-on-assault-weapons-high-capacity-magazines-following-colorado-mass-shooting\/\" title=\"President Biden Pushes Ban On \u2018Assault Weapons,\u2019 \u2018High Capacity Magazines\u2019 Following Colorado Mass Shooting\">shooter opened fire<\/a>. Bongino also\u2064 expressed surprise that the counter sniper team failed \u2062to neutralize the threat. Despite the\u2064 Secret Service denying reports of denied security\u2063 reinforcements, Bongino claims he has proof otherwise.
