Julia Pierson, Secret Service Director, Resigns Under Pressure About Breaches - NYTimes.com

Julia Pierson, Secret Service Director, Resigns Under Pressure About Breaches - NYTimes.com: "WASHINGTON — Julia Pierson resigned under pressure as director of the Secret Service on Wednesday after failing to quell a bipartisan political furor over repeated breaches of White House security and losing the confidence of the president her agency is charged with protecting.

Ms. Pierson’s support in the West Wing began crumbling late Tuesday, in large part because she did not tell the White House of a security failure in Atlanta last month when an armed man was allowed to ride in an elevator with President Obama at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
