Oh, so USSS brass lied! They flagrantly denied something they could have checked in two seconds, then after an uproar they turned around and told the truth a week later about a simple request for more manpower on my father’s detail.
Why try to hide that easily discoverable fact? pic.twitter.com/ldu0YtQcyp— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) July 21, 2024

Good lord. US Secret Service Director Cheatle just testified that the building the shooter tried to assassinate Trump from was not in their security perimeter that day.
The building 150 yards from a former president & current candidate for president w/ a direct line of sight?!— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) July 22, 2024
JUST IN: Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle can't answer almost all of Rep. James Comer's questions.
This woman is way more incompetent than I thought.
Attendees were heard groaning in the background as Cheatle gaslit the American people.

Kimberly Cheatle is shown footage of Trump rally goers pointing to the shooter on the roof.
She then attempts to explain how the Secret Service were not aware that there was a threat to President Trump and why the rally was never paused.

Congress should hold Cheatle in contempt today and order the Sergeant of Arms to take her into custody.
This is an abomination and simply cannot be tolerated. She allowed the president to be shot in the head, lied about it for a week and is now stonewalling Congress.

I didn’t believe until right now that a specific stand down order was given by the Secret Service to leave the assassin alone. But now that we know Cheatle refused to record or archive the comms (or potentially even deleted them), I don’t think there’s any other conclusion to… https://t.co/XMoQNgxLTt

BREAKING 🚨
Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle just confirmed that there was only ONE counter sniper who took a shot on July 13th.
This means that the third weapon heard in audio recordings was NOT a counter sniper.
There was a SECOND SHOOTER!

Secret Service Director Admits ‘Significant Operational Failure’
By: Epoch Times, July 22, 2024:
The director of the U.S. Secret Service told a House panel on Monday that her agency failed during the assassination attempt targeting former President Donald Trump.
“The Secret Service’s solemn mission is to protect our nation’s leaders. On July 13th, we failed. As the Director of the United States Secret Service, I take full responsibility for any security lapse,” Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle told the House Oversight Committee in prepared remarks after she was subpoenaed, adding that the shooting was the “most significant operational failure in decades.”
During the July 13 incident at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a gunman fired at the former president, striking him in the right ear as well as killing one person and wounding two others.
“We must learn what happened and I will move heaven and earth to ensure an incident like July 13th does not happen again. Thinking about what we should have done differently is never far from my thoughts,” Ms. Cheatle said.
Her appearance before the panel occurred as numerous Republican lawmakers and at least one Democrat congressman have demanded that she resign from her position, saying that her agency did not do enough to provide security to the former president. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) are among those who have called on Ms. Cheatle to step down.
The House Oversight panel’s chairman, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), said Monday that the Secret Service underperformed in its “zero-fail mission,” saying there are questions that the agency “lacks the proper management” and also chided it for what he described as a lack of transparency. Instead of providing statements to the public, the Secret Service is delivering information through “whistleblowers” and “leaks” to the media, he said.
“It is my firm belief that … you should resign,” Mr. Comer told the agency director at the start of the hearing on Monday morning. “I urge Director Cheatle to be transparent in her testimony today,” he added.
