The Secret Service will assign a security detail to Cheatle amid concerns that she could face retaliation linked to the agency&#8217;s shortcomings during the July 13 incident, which resulted in injuries to Trump and two others, as well as the death of a former fire chief. This protection will be managed by the Dignitary Protection Division, typically responsible for safeguarding foreign leaders visiting Washington, D.C., and lower-profile Cabinet members. President Biden authorized this security measure after Cheatle received multiple threats, including death threats and encounters with menacing individuals, as reported by RealClearPolitics. Biden knows Cheatle personally since she was part of his vice presidential security team. She resigned on July 23 after being questioned by lawmakers from the House Oversight Committee. This marks an unprecedented move for the Secret Service in providing its own resources for protecting a former leader. Additionally, following Trump&#8217;s assassination attempt, third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also began receiving protection after requesting it during his campaign<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2325823,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kimberly_Cheatle_555-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[38372,4140,34163,3646,32076],"class_list":["post-2325822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-agency-news","tag-protection","tag-secret-service","tag-security","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kimberly_Cheatle_555-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2325822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2325823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2325822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2325822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2325822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
