WATCH: Check out the BEST Moments from the Cheatle Hearings – 7.22.24
There was finally unity on Capitol Hill today. Democrats and Republicans both agree that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle failed to protect former President Donald J. Trump.
The hearing was full of bombshell moments.
Check them out below:
My favorite moment was a very simple question from Rep. Khanna.
Another very telling exchange between Rep. Timmons and Cheatle:
When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is making sense, you know we are living in crazy times.
I’m not sure Cheatle thinks anything would rise to the level of requiring her to resign. Listen to her try and get out of answering Rep. Moskowitz’s hypothetical question:
One of the biggest mic-drop moments courtesy of Rep. Nancy Mace.
But she wasn’t done yet…
The hearing was such a ****show for Cheatle that Comer and Raskin teamed up and wrote a letter calling on her to resign.
You can read it below:
Director Cheatle: On July 13, 2024, the United States Secret Service under your leadership failed to protect former President Donald Trump from an assassination attempt that took the life of Corey Comperatore and seriously injured at least two other people. Today, you failed to provide answers to basic questions regarding that stunning operational failure and to reassure the American people that the Secret Service has learned its lessons and begun to correct its systemic blunders and failures. In the middle of a presidential election, the Committee and the American people demand serious institutional accountability and transparency that you are not providing. We call on you to resign as Director as a first step to allowing new leadership to swiftly address this crisis and rebuild the trust of a truly concerned Congress and the American people. Sincerely, James Comer Chairman Committee on Oversight & Accountability & Jamie Raskin Ranking Member Committee on Oversight & Accountability
