MTG Asks Secret Service Director If There Was A ‘Conspiracy To Kill President Trump’ | Cheatle |N18G

USA News LIVE: Secret Service Chief Kimberly Cheatle Faces Grilling Over Trump Shooting | Senate Hearing LIVE | CNBC TV18
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Monday demanded to know if the Secret Service was engaged in a “conspiracy to kill” former President Donald Trump when he was nearly assassinated earlier this month. Later, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) noted that “unfortunately, another thing that is happening, because we’re not getting answers from you today, is the conspiracy theories. They have already begun.”
Crockett pointed out that if people believe that the shooting was the result of some sort of government conspiracy, “that potentially incites the next level of violence at the next event, in retaliation for this.” She urged Cheatle to release more information. “So long as these conspiracy theories continue to fester, it is going to make your job that much harder,” she said.
It was one of a number of conspiracy theories floated about the shooting during the House Oversight Committee’s questioning of Kimberly Cheatle, the Secret Service director who so far has said she will not resign despite the admitted massive security failure that allowed the 20-year-old shooter to take multiple shots at Trump with a semiautomatic rifle.
House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) will hold a full committee hearing titled "Oversight of the U.S. Secret Service and the Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump." The hearing will conduct oversight of the U.S. Secret Service to gather information from Director Kimberly Cheatle following the assassination attempt of President Donald J. Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania
Republican members of Congress are focusing on the role of the Secret Service, as their frustration and anger grow over the agency's response to an attempt to assassinate presidential nominee Donald Trump.
A House committee hearing will on Monday grill its Director, Kimberly Cheatle -something Speaker Mike Johnson said would make for "must-see TV" for Americans concerned about security lapses at a Pennsylvania rally earlier this month.
"She's got a lot to answer for. And these concerns are bipartisan," Mr Johnson told CNN.
Ms Cheatle's agency is charged with providing protection to the president and his family, former presidents, those in line to the White House and other political candidates.

Republicans, who control the House, have been unified in pushing for Ms Cheatle to step down - or be fired - after a 20-year-old gunman was able to shoot the former president in the ear at the 13 July rally
