Secret Service Director Resigns

There's a new person in charge of the men and women who protect the president. The former director of the secret service, Julia Pierson, resigned after a series a security breaches that put the president potentially at risk.

The final straw? When the White House realized she failed to inform them about a security incident last month in Atlanta.

*In the reporters story, you heard her use the term 'whistle-blower'. This is a person who exposes misconduct, or wrongdoing, within an organization.
