The Secret Service blocked the renewal of former Director Kimberly Cheatle’s top-level security clearance, RealClearPolitics reported Friday.

Agency officials reportedly paused the process after being asked about Republican Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson’s opposition, according to the outlet.

“Following the security debacle in Butler, the former director of USSS made the right decision to resign,” Johnson told the outlet. “I see no reason for her security clearance to be reinstated.”

The outlet reportedly questioned the agency about Johnson’s objections to renewing Cheatle’s clearance, and the process was halted shortly thereafter, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

In response, the Secret Service issued a vague statement saying current Director Sean Curran, a Trump appointee, had determined that “not all former directors” should retain their security clearances.
