After the attempt on Donald Trump’s life, it became quite apparent that the Secret Service dropped the ball.
There were numerous planning errors that nearly cost Trump his life, and did cost the life of one spectator, as well as two others being injured.
Now the House Oversight is demanding accountability.
Investigate It
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), like the rest of us, wants to know what the heck went wrong during the rally in terms of Donald Trump’s security.
The fact an armed man was able to scale a wall, bear crawl across the roof, set up his weapon, and take his shot before police and Secret Service were able to respond is just shocking, to say the least.
Comer is now demanding answers from the Director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle.
Cheatle was a member of Joe Biden’s Secret Service detail when he was VP, and was reportedly pushed by Jill Biden to be appointed to this position.
Comer wrote, “Today, President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt when a gunman fired a weapon at him at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“At least one bystander is dead.”
Comer continued, “The tremendous bravery of the individual United States Secret Service agents who protected President Trump, eliminated the gunman, and possibly averted more loss of life cannot be overstated.
“The Committee on Oversight and Accountability has initiated an investigation into today’s assassination attempt on President Trump and requests your voluntary appearance at a full Committee hearing on July 22, 2024.”
It has also been reported that the Inspector General of Homeland Security is calling for an investigation, who may be the only person in this administration that is honest.
The last investigation launched by this office had Secretary Mayorkas up in arms, so you know the IG can be trusted to get to the bottom of this debacle.
