This morning, director Julia Pierson is out, resigning after coming under fire for a series of breaches, including a fencejumper, who made it all of the way into the white house. Pierre thomas has been tracking the story since the beginning. Good morning. Reporter good morning. My most accounts, her appearance before congress was a disaster. The secret service had been keeping secrets from the white house. That sealed her fate. Julia pierson offered her resignation wednesday afternoon in a private meeting with her boss, Homeland Security secretary jay johnson. Sources say a frustrated johnson and the president agreed, she had to go. She became secret Service Director in the wake of a sordid prostitution scandal. Now a series of security fiascos has forced her out of office. Johnson named joe clancy as the acting director. He was in charge of the president s security detail from 2009 to 2011. Over the last several days, we have recent and accumulating reports raising questions about the performance of the agency. And the president concluded that new leadership of that agency was required. Reporter in the end, she could not survive revelations about two extraordinary breaches. A man with a knife piercing all layers of white house security, walking through an unlocked door. And this week we learned a security contractor with a criminal record and carrying a gun was allowed to stand next to the president in an elevator. The secret service did not tell the white house about the breach until two weeks later. The white house first learned of that incident yesterday afternoon shortly before it was publicly reported by a news organization. Reporter not telling the president , sources say, was a fatal blow. And her resignation came as members of congress, republicans and democrats, gave her a vote of no confidence.
