<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/secret-service" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Secret Service</a> Director Kimberly Cheatle will testify next week before the GOP-led House Oversight Committee on the attempted assassination of former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>, the panel announced on Monday.</p>
<p>Scheduled to take place on Capitol Hill at 10 a.m. ET on Monday, the public hearing will give lawmakers and the American people a chance to hear first-hand about the attack that took place at Trump&#8217;s campaign rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Secret Service has a no-fail mission, yet it failed on Saturday when a madman attempted to assassinate President Trump, killed an innocent victim, and harmed others,&#8221; Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a post to X, adding that his panel will &#8220;get answers.&#8221;</p>

<p>On Saturday, a gunman opened fire and a bullet ripped through Trump’s ear. Secret Service personnel killed the shooter, but not before one rally-goer was killed and two others were injured, and rushed to the former president to offer him protection.</p>
<p>Questions <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/politics/secret-service-faces-serious-questions-about-security-footprint-and-rooftop-access-at-trump-event/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have been raised</a> about how the shooter managed to get onto a nearby rooftop and start shooting from roughly 150 yards away. Sources <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-rally-shooting-secret-service-identified-rooftop-security-flaw-rcna161783" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told NBC News</a> the Secret Service had even identified the roof as a vulnerability before the rally.</p>
<p>Cheatle, <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/08/24/statement-from-president-biden-on-the-appointment-of-kimberly-cheatle-to-be-the-next-director-of-the-united-states-secret-service/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appointed</a> by President Joe Biden in 2022, has <a href="https://www.secretservice.gov/newsroom/releases/2024/07/statement-us-secret-service-director-kimberly-cheatle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the &#8220;Secret Service is tasked with the tremendous responsibility of protecting the current and former leaders of our democracy. It is a responsibility that I take incredibly seriously, and I am committed to fulfilling that mission.&#8221;</p>
<p>GOP senators are <a href="https://x.com/AnthonyAdragna/status/1812908560331735404" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushing</a> the Democrat-led Judiciary Committee in the upper chamber to secure testimony not only from Cheatle, but also Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and FBI Director Christopher Wray for a hearing.</p>
<p>And following the shooting, which did not stop Trump from flying out to Milwaukee this week for the Republican National Convention, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mike-johnson-promises-to-conduct-full-investigation-into-attempted-assassination-of-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the House would conduct a &#8220;full investigation&#8221; into the attack.</p>
<p>&#8220;The American people deserve to know the truth. We will have Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and other appropriate officials from DHS and the FBI appear for a hearing before our committees ASAP,&#8221; he <a href="https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1812315506705138076" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X on Sunday.</p>
<p>Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, <a href="https://x.com/HomelandGOP/status/1812507846959124690/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sent a letter</a> to Mayorkas demanding information while noting &#8220;some reporting&#8221; that suggested his agency &#8220;rebuffed&#8221; multiple requests from Trump&#8217;s security detail to increase protective resources in recent weeks.</p>
<p>In a post to X on Sunday, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi <a href="https://x.com/SecretSvcSpox/status/1812451649387933912" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that there was &#8220;an untrue assertion that a member of the former President’s team requested additional security resources &amp; that those were rebuffed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Guglielmi added, &#8220;This is absolutely false. In fact, we added protective resources &amp; technology &amp; capabilities as part of the increased campaign travel tempo.&#8221;</p>
<p>A bipartisan pair of lawmakers in the House, Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) and Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawmakers-propose-bill-giving-enhanced-secret-service-protection-to-presidential-candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said they were putting together</a> legislation that would beef up <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/secret-service" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Secret Service</a> protection for presidential candidates, including Trump, Biden, and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</p>
