Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle landed job after push by Jill Biden's office, sources say

[NYP] Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who is facing congressional outcry and calls to resign over security lapses leading to former President Donald Trump’s near-assassination Saturday, landed her role thanks largely to a close relationship with first lady Jill Biden, The Post has learned.

Cheatle, 53, is the second woman to lead the presidential protection agency and secured the non-Senate-confirmed role in August 2022 after a three-year stint as senior director of global security at PepsiCo.

Before that, she had served 27 years in the Secret Service, beginning in the Clinton administration.

Four sources close to President Biden’s family, including people who interacted with Cheatle during the Obama-Biden administration, said she was well liked by the future first lady and her most senior aides, including top adviser Anthony Bernal.

"Cheatle served on Dr. Biden’s second lady detail and Anthony pushed for her," a Democratic insider told The Post. "Anthony has no national security or law enforcement experience. He should have no influence over the selection of the USSS director."

"I heard at the time she was being considered for director that Anthony had pushed her forward as an option," another well-placed source told The Post.

#5 Secret Service director gives bizarre reason why an agent wasn't on the roof where gunman Thomas...

'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'

#12 Very Odd woman at the Rally

This is the only place I've seen it, obviously he got it from somewhere but there's a woman sitting behind trump, that kind of ducks down just before the shots and holds up a Biden sign. Then as the shots are fired she ducks a little more, and pops back up with her camera. She didn't flinch, she did NOT react in a normal person on the downrange side of gunfire.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this was planned and not just by the patsy. He had help, the way was prepared for him. And I'll wager that SOMEONE from the FBI or CIA groomed him for this.
