Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle quit after her agency failed to prevent an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, according to multiple reports.

Cheatle plans to announce her resignation later on Tuesday following a tense Capitol Hill hearing on Monday that resulted in dozens of lawmakers calling for her to step down.

Cheatle’s resignation, as first reported by NBC News citing sources, came a day after she was blasted by members of a House committee at a hearing on the Secret Service’s actions leading up to Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler Township.

At that hearing, Cheatle refused to resign, saying she was the best qualified person to head the Secret Service, which is responsible for protecting the president, vice president, their family members, and leading presidential candidates.

Trump, who is the Republican nominee for president, narrowly avoided being killed in the shooting by 20-year-old gunman Thomas Crooks. One rally attended died in the shooting, and two men were critically injured.

Crooks shot at Trump from the roof of a building about 150 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking.

The Secret Service did not extend its security perimeter for the rally to include the complex that included that building, instead leaving it up to local law-enforcement officials to secure that area.

Secret Service agents also allowed Trump to take the stage and begin speaking after receiving a report from local police that a suspicious person had been seen at the event. That person ended up being Crooks, who was killed by a Secret Service sniper after he filed multiple rounds at Trump.
