Trump, who was wounded in his right ear, was addressing supporters when a gunman fired several rounds at him from a nearby rooftop. The incident has placed intense scrutiny on the agency as questions have emerged on how a gunman was able to access the rooftop so close to the rally and get a direct shot at the former president before getting fatally wounded by Secret Service agents.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin issued a joint statement ahead of Monday's hearing.
"While we often have passionate disagreements about policies and investigative priorities, we are united in condemning all political violence and ensuring that America will prevent such a horrific event from ever happening again," the lawmakers said in their statement. "Americans have many serious questions about the historic security failures that occurred at the campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle must appear before the House Oversight Committee without delay on Monday, July 22 to answer our many questions and provide the transparency and accountability that Americans deserve and that are at the foundation of our government."

The assassination attempt goes beyond incompetence. It is suspicious.
-
These hearings will be full of " I can't comment on a ongoing investigation"
-
She should be suspended for gaslighting the public,...period. The sloped roof comment alone is sufficient for the citizens to realize they are being lied to, intentionally.
-
No one believes Jim Comer anymore. Maybe he can have his hearing and then write a strongly-worded letter or something.
-
Treason action??
-
Time to cut the budget for the Secret Service they don’t need nearly $4 billion a year. Somebody is pocketing that money trust me someone is stealing that money cut it in half.

COMPETENT? HARDLY!!!
-
DEI HIRES......WHAT A JOKE

It is simple she failed in her job.
-
At all costs we must protect the president

Fire Cheadle!
-
This lady in the red dress always sits on her elbows, sit up, lady, sit up
-
When??? Days, months, years…..
-
Her eyes are so lifeless. Like the walking dead look.
-
We thought, even before testifying before Congress, she already quit.
-
Nobody cares if she's fired or not but since Rs want that I find it suspect.
-
Why don't we have a secret service agent with 30 years in charge of the secret service instead of this incompetent bozo?
-
The whole incident was just a snake turning on another snake. As Mr. Malcolm X stated: it's the rooster coming home to crow! That's the just of the matter.

3.2 billion is an insane number
