House investigation into attempted murder of President Donald Trump
The House is investigating the attempted murder of President Donald Trump, with Rep. Michael Cloud claiming that Alejandro Mayorkas' agency is interfering with the investigation. Mayorkas is rushing an independent review of the agency's failure, and Kimberly Cheatle, a sociology graduate, is in charge of the Secret Service. Cloud is issuing subpoenas to ensure the director appears at a hearing. Mayorkas reaffirmed support for Cheatle despite her admission that Secret Service agents were not posted on the roof from which the sniper almost killed Trump.
