The House Committee On Oversight and Accountability has scheduled a hearing for Monday with Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who is facing criticism and calls to resign from lawmakers over her agency's handling of the Trump rally shooting last weekend in Pennsylvania.
The hearing, titled "Oversight of the U.S. Secret Service and the Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump," is set to unfold on Capitol Hill beginning at 10 a.m. ET Monday.
Cheatle is refusing to resign, but House Speaker Mike Johnston told FOX Business on Thursday that he is prepared to call on President Biden to fire her.
“Continuity of operations is paramount during a critical incident and U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has no intentions to step down. She deeply respects members of Congress and is fiercely committed to transparency in leading the Secret Service through the internal investigation and strengthening the agency through lessons learned in these important internal and external reviews,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement late Wednesday.
Cheatle was confronted by senators who were demanding answers when she showed up at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week.

She sounds guilty, not just incompetent.

She isn’t worried about her job.. she did what she was told to do ….

The secret service's behavior before the assassination attempt, as well as her testimony and statements afterwards go beyond incompetence. It is suspicious.

The more I watch this thing and her hateful attitude and refusal to answer questions, the more I think she was complicit in the attack on Trump.

Using her personal device instead of her government issued one, is a big red flag.

Absolutely complete incompetence and can not be more clear and she should be fired.
