House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has requested a briefing from the Secret Service and has called on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to testify at a hearing on July 22. This follows an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Congressional Republicans are pushing for investigations into the incident, with a closed-door briefing scheduled for Tuesday. Cheatle, in her first network interview since the incident, stated that the shooting was 'unacceptable' and that 'the buck stops with me,' but she will not resign from her position.
