The House Oversight and Accountability Committee has subpoenaed Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to compel her to testify before a public hearing on Monday.
The committee wants to question her about the security failures during the attempted assassination of former President Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday."The assassination attempt of the former President and current Republican nominee for president represents a total failure of the agency’s core mission and demands Congressional oversight," Chairman Rep. James Comer wrote in a letter to Cheatle.
A Secret Service source confirmed to Scripps News that the agency did not sweep the rooftop where the shooter was positioned, saying it was up to local law enforcement to secure that building.
"The lack of transparency and failure to cooperate with the Committee on this pressing matter by both DHS and the Secret Service further calls into question your ability to lead the Secret Service and necessitates the attached subpoena compelling your appearance," Comer stated.
