The following is a transcript of an interview with House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Rep. Michael McCaul, Republican of Texas, on 'Face the Nation' that aired on July 28, 2024.ROBERT COSTA: Welcome back to Face The Nation. We're now joined by the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael McCaul. Chairman, thanks for being here.REP.
Well, we don't want escalation for sure. I think it's important to note that- that Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi rebels were all proxies of Iran. They're sort of like the tentacles of the head of the snake, if you will. And so they don't operate without, you know, without Iran's consent.
What I want to see is sort of like how I've conducted the Afghanistan investigation that we're starting to wind up. We'll have a report on the anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing. Professional. That professionalism is very important. Experience. So you want people that either have, you know, special operators that know how snipers work, to federal prosecutors like myself that know how the process works.
If asked I would serve but there are a lot of other very qualified people. ROBERT COSTA: Is it feasible to get a report done on the assassination attempt by the end of this year?REP. Be happy to do that, but I think for the most part, they have the resources. It's just this particular event and the Trump campaign itself, they were derelict in their responsibilities. ROBERT COSTA: When you look at foreign policy, you also have issues with the border. What's your assessment of where things stand with US border policy and the national security threats there, especially with this mounting number of arrests at the border in recent weeks?REP.
