Secret Service director ordered to attend hearing over Donald Trump shooting as she’s blasted for ‘lack of transparency’
THE House Oversight and Accountability Committee has subpoenaed the director of the Secret Service following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle will appear before the committee on Monday for what is to be the first congressional hearing into the attempted assassination.
James Comer, the chairman of the committee, said the Secret Service committed to her attendance.
However, Homeland Security officials intervened, saying there haven't been any "meaningful updates or information" shared with the committee.
Comer said the subpoena became necessary after the "lack of transparency and failure to cooperate" with the committee led many to question Cheatle's leadership.
Cheatle said she would fully participate in a review and would work with congressional committees that look into the shooting.
She added that she and the agency understand the importance of a review ordered by President Joe Biden.
