Secret Service Director Grilled Over Trump Attack

News summary

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle faced intense bipartisan scrutiny during a House Oversight Committee hearing regarding the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Lawmakers from both parties, including Reps. Andy Biggs, Pat Ryan, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, demanded Cheatle's resignation over the security failures at the rally in Butler, PA. Cheatle admitted the incident was the 'most significant operational failure' of the Secret Service in decades and acknowledged multiple warnings about the shooter's suspicious behavior. Despite taking full responsibility, Cheatle's inability to provide detailed answers about the incident during the hearing further fueled calls for her resignation. Former President Trump and lawmakers criticized the lack of adequate security measures, with Trump expressing surprise at how the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was able to get so close.
