Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) aggressively questioned Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle regarding the agency's denial of additional security requests from the Trump campaign. Jordan accused the Secret Service of 'cutting corners' and criticized Cheatle for not answering questions from the committee. The confrontation occurred during a hearing where Jordan expressed concerns over the agency's handling of security for former President Donald Trump, particularly in light of an attempted assassination and an incident at a Trump rally. Jordan's remarks also highlighted the Secret Service's recent acknowledgment of denying some security requests and Cheatle's 9% raise.
