Head of US Secret Service Security Operations Resigns

The head of security operations for the US Secret Service, Michael Plati, has submitted his resignation, according to reports from American media. 

The announcement was first reported by Cairo News Channel.

Michael Plati has been a key figure within the US Secret Service, responsible for overseeing the security operations that protect high-profile officials, including the US president, vice president, and foreign dignitaries.

His resignation has raised speculation about potential internal changes within the agency. However, no official reason for his departure has been publicly disclosed.

The US Secret Service, which was established in 1865, originally focused on combating currency counterfeiting but later expanded to include the protection of the nation’s leaders.

The agency’s role has evolved significantly in response to various security challenges, particularly in the aftermath of events like the September 11, 2001 attacks, which intensified the focus on counterterrorism and intelligence operations.

Plati’s resignation comes at a time when the U.S. Secret Service has faced increased scrutiny due to evolving threats and recent high-profile security breaches.
