Secret Service halts ex-director Kimberley Cheatle''s security clearance |
2025-08-03 |
[NYPOST] Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle — under fire over the Pennsylvania liquidation attempt against President Trump — won't have her top-level security clearance renewed, The Post has learned. The Secret Service decided not to extend Chealte's clearance after opposition from Republicans in Congress, namely Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). ''Director [Sean] Curran has been modernizing the intelligence apparatus within the agency,'' a spokesperson told The Post. ''During that process, he has determined that not all former directors will have their clearances renewed.'' The decision to end Cheatle's security clearance came after RealClearPolitics inquired about Johnson's opposition to renewal, claimed the outlet, which was the first to report the change. Johnson, who helms the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, had probed the Secret Service's failures leading up to the Trump liquidation attempt in Butler, Pa.
