House Democrat calls on Secret Service director to resign

Boyle, who represents a suburban Philadelphia district, became the first congressional Democrat to join numerous voices in the Republican Party who have asked Cheatle to step down since last weekend’s shooting that wounded Trump’s ear, killed one man, and injured two others.
