Oversight Committee summons Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle

Sunday, July 14, 2024

The Oversight Committee, the main investigative agency of the US House of Representatives, has summoned Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.

The Oversight Agency has issued a summons to Kimberly Cheatle to testify at a hearing on July 22, 2024.

In a statement released on social media, the Oversight Committee panel said, "We are demanding answers on the deadly attack on Trump."

Earlier in a news conference, FBI Special Agent Kevin Rojek said, "It is surprising how an attacker was able to openly fire on the stage before being killed by the Secret Service?"

However, when he was asked whether there was any lapse in the security system. He said, "Without a proper investigation, he cannot offer any assessment on this."

The Secret Service was not present during the news conference. At the same time, the FBI is investigating the deadly attack on Trump.

But at the moment most fingers are being raised on the Secret Service.

It is being said about the Secret Service, their only job is to protect the current and former presidents of America and last night they failed miserably in this.

About 43 years before the attack on Trump, an attempt was also made to assassinate the then US President Ronald Reagan. At that time Reagan was shot in the lung but he survived.

Today American politicians and the public want to know how a potential assassin climbed the roof armed with a rifle and how he fired four bullets towards the stage.

The FBI, Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security are involved in the investigation already underway.

Former US President Donald Trump was attacked during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Trump narrowly escaped in this incident. While Trump was giving a speech at the rally, a man shot at him, but the bullet passed through the upper part of his right ear.

Secret Service security personnel brought Trump back from the stage.

The FBI has identified the man who fatally attacked Trump as Thomas Matthew Crooks.

The Secret Service shot Crooks shortly after attacking the former president, killing him.

Crooks was a resident of Bethel Park, an hour away from the rally site in Pennsylvania. According to state voter records, he was a registered Republican.

According to news agency Reuters, when Crooks was 17, he donated $15 to ActBlue. ActBlue is a political action committee that raises funds for left-wing and Democratic politicians.

According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Crooks completed his studies from Bethel Park High School in 2022.

Apart from this, he had also received a Star Award of $ 500 from the National Math and Science Initiative.

The attacker's 53-year-old father Matthew Crooks told news channel CNN that he is trying to find out what happened. He says that he would like to tell something only after talking to the agencies.

At the same time, law agencies said that Crooks went to the shooting spot without any identity card. He was also identified by other means.

Although the motive behind this attack has not been known yet, officials are calling it an attempt to murder.

More information has come to light about Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attacked former US President and 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump.

CBS News, a BBC affiliate in the US, has also shared a picture of 20-year-old Thomas.

This picture is taken from his school yearbook.

Crooks was a resident of Bethel Park, an hour away from the rally site in Pennsylvania.

Earlier, Bethel Park High School confirmed that Thomas Crooks had completed his studies from there in 2022.

Thomas Crooks was shot by security personnel at the scene, he has died.

BBC correspondent Bernd Debussmann Jr., present in Bethel Park, has said that security personnel and police have closed all the roads leading to Thomas's house and are investigating.

According to the information received by the BBC, Thomas Crooks used to work in the kitchen of a local nursing home near his house.

The security personnel did not find any identity card with him at the scene. Therefore, a DNA test was done to identify him.

At present, the FBI is trying to find out the reasons for the attack.
