USA News LIVE: Secret Service Chief Kimberly Cheatle Faces Grilling Over Trump Shooting | Senate Hearing LIVE | CNBC TV18
House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) will hold a full committee hearing titled "Oversight of the U.S. Secret Service and the Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump." The hearing will conduct oversight of the U.S. Secret Service to gather information from Director Kimberly Cheatle following the assassination attempt of President Donald J. Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.
The United States' secret service director Kimberly Cheatle admitted that they failed to protect Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at a July 13 campaign rally in Pennsylvania this week.
While speaking before the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, the director testified, "We failed. As the director of the United States Secret Service, I take full responsibility for any security lapse."
"The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on July 13th is the most significant operational failure at the Secret Service in decades," she added.
US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle acknowledged on Monday that the agency failed in its mission to prevent the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump.
"The Secret Service's solemn mission is to protect our nation's leaders," Ms Cheatle said during testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
"On July 13, we failed," she said. "As director of the United States Secret Service, I take full responsibility for any security lapse." But she rejected a wave of bipartisan calls for her resignation.
Republican members of Congress are focusing on the role of the Secret Service, as their frustration and anger grow over the agency's response to an attempt to assassinate presidential nominee Donald Trump.
A House committee hearing will on Monday grill its Director, Kimberly Cheatle -something Speaker Mike Johnson said would make for "must-see TV" for Americans concerned about security lapses at a Pennsylvania rally earlier this month.
"She's got a lot to answer for. And these concerns are bipartisan," Mr Johnson told CNN.
Ms Cheatle's agency is charged with providing protection to the president and his family, former presidents, those in line to the White House and other political candidates.

This woman shouldn't guard a school crossing. She's hoping that in some way this will go away and she keeps her job. Broke the first rule of having the high ground.. This kid outsmarted the Secret Service. This is a zero sum game and she lost.

[lorenbodkins]

I have no confidence in her but just as bad is I don't have confidence that he can continue in his position without desperately trying to further his agenda. Absolutesackofshithumanbeing
