WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The acting director of the U.S. Secret Service will testify before three Senate committees on Tuesday in the aftermath of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, the committees announced on Wednesday.

The deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation will also testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is holding a hearing in partnership with the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Kimberly Cheatle resigned as director of the U.S. Secret Service on Tuesday after bipartisan demands to quit over the failure to prevent the attempted assassination. Ronald L. Rowe, Jr. replaced her as acting director.
