Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Director Kimberly Cheatle is set to appear for a highly anticipated hearing before the House Oversight Committee on Monday morning as lawmakers begin investigating what failures led to an assassination attempt on former PresidentDirector Christopher Wray, will mark the first of two public events in the House this week that will examine how and why a would-be assassin was able to take shots at Trump during a recent campaign rally.
“Americans have many serious questions about the historic security failures” and they deserve “transparency and accountability,” the pair said, a sign that Cheatle is likely to have few allies when she sits down in the hearing room to take questions from members of Congress. Secret Service Deputy Director Ronald Rowe gave lawmakers a summary of the timeline during a briefing last week, saying Pennsylvania State Police alerted the Secret Service to Crooks 20 minutes before shots rang out. Rowe said Crooks had a rangefinder, a firearm accessory used to take long shots, with him.
Wray is expected to be interrogated on the investigation process at his own hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.
