BLOOMINGTON – House lawmakers heard from the head of the Secret Service on Monday in what turned into a bit of sparring over the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump.
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle answered questions from the House Oversight Committee on how the shooting took place.
“I think it’s unacceptable, the actions that they didn’t take to secure the perimeter for former President Donald Trump,” Republican Congressman Darin LaHood said. “Secret Service has one job to do – that’s protect the entity that they are in charge of protecting. That didn’t happen.
It’s really embarrassing and unacceptable to see the videos come out. The fact that this guy got on a ladder and got on a shed and was able to shoot at (former) President Donald Trump. For the grace of God, we’re not dealing with a different tragedy this week.”
Congressman LaHood also serves as the Chairman of the House Intelligence NSA and Cyber Subcommittees.
