James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee (R-KY), will demand that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigns when she appears in front of his committee for an hearing on Monday regarding the attempted assassination against former President Donald Trump.

According to Washington Examiner’s excerpts from Comer’s prepared remarks, he will state that he is “firmly convinced” that Cheatle must resign following the Secret Service failure in security at a Trump rally, which resulted in one death and two serious injuries.

Comer intends to say: “While we thank the Secret Service agents for their efforts under extreme pressure, this tragedy could have been prevented.”

Cheatle will appear in front of the committee on Tuesday at 10 a.m. She is expected to be grilled by both Republicans and Democrats. After the rally, lawmakers from both parties criticized the Secret Service, accusing them of allowing Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year old man, to gain access to a roof in close proximity to Trump, and to fire multiple rounds with an AR-15 into the crowd.

1776 Coalition Sponsored Will you join Elon, Vivek and Me? I want gov’t to work for the people, so I joined the DOGE Caucus. Now that Deep State, Establishment & Liberal spenders have a target on me. Fortunately, I’ve got allies like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy working with me in this mission. This is LTGen Jack Bergman. Please join me in the fight to make gov’t accountable to the citizens..

Comer’s first statement may strike at times a rare note of unity in an hearing room where partisan sparring has been rife.

Comer will claim that the attempted murder of Trump was “one the darkest days” in American politics.

Comer will state that “it represents the ugly parts of American politics: hatred for each other and an dangerous turn towards extremism.” “Before being Republicans or Democrats, Americans are what we are.” We cannot have a country if we put our political affiliations before our duty and love for our country.

Comer will also criticize Cheatle’s agency for its lack of communication during the week following the attempted assassination on Trump’s Life.

Comer will state that “the Secret Service has not provided the answers Americans have been demanding.”

Trump was almost killed at the rally when a bullet hit the side of his face and injured his ear as he spoke onstage.

The Secret Service issued an initial statement regarding the assassination and held a conference to discuss how it would protect the Republican National Convention. Cheatle appeared in a few television interviews. She told ABC News, during one of them, that she did not intend to resign.

Most of the details have been revealed by anonymous media reports or whistleblowers who went to Congress.

In one such report, the Wall Street Journal reported that Crooks had been able to fly his drone over the rally’s site hours before the event. Washington Examiner and other outlets reported details lawmakers learned in private briefings by the Secret Service or FBI. The Secret Service, for instance, was notified 20 minutes in advance of the shooting by a person with a long-range rifle accessory, a rangefinder.

Whistleblowers informed the House Judiciary Committee of the fact that a Secret Service Special Agent in Charge warned officials in law enforcement that there would be “limited resources” available the week before the rally, because the Secret Service was also entrusted with protecting the NATO Summit in Washington D.C.

Comer intends to point out that whistleblowers, leaks and the media are the ones who “learn new facts every day about the events surrounding attempted assassination” rather than the Secret Service.

“Americans are demanding accountability, but nobody has been fired yet for this historic failure,” will Comer say.
