Live updates: Secret Service director grilled over Trump shooting
House
On Monday, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle will be questioned by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee about the security failures that allowed a gunman to open fire on former President Trump at a rally last week. Despite calls for her resignation or dismissal, largely from Republicans, Cheatle has stated her intention to remain in her position. Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) sent a joint letter urging Cheatle to appear "without delay," citing the "historic security failures" at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally. As more information has come to light about the shooting and the Secret Service's actions, the pressure on Cheatle ahead of today's hearing has intensified.
