Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is facing lawmakers for the first time after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
Comer swore in Cheatle following remarks from him and Raskin, and Cheatle began her opening statement.'The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on July 13 is the most significant operational failure at the Secret Service in decades and I am keeping him and his family in my thoughts,' she said of the former president.
Cheatle said the level of security for Trump increased 'well before' the campaign and has been 'steadily increasing' as threats against him evolve. But she noted that the Secret Service needs to be 'adequately resourced' to serve current mission requirements and anticipate future requirements. There are 36 individuals under Secret Service protection on a daily basis, she said. Agents also protect world leaders visiting the U.S.
