Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has now defended the decision not to guard the roof from which Thomas Crooks allegedly fired at Donald Trump, citing safety concerns. Cheatle acknowledged that the sloped structure of the roof posed safety risks for personnel, stating, “That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof.” Despite facing criticism for the security lapse, Cheatle emphasized that she remains resolute in her position and has no intention of resigning, claims media reports.
From the vantage point on the roof, Crooks reportedly had a direct line of sight to Trump and discharged rounds from an AR-style semiautomatic rifle, narrowly missing the former president’s right ear
