Homeland Security Agency Is Interfering in House’s Assassination Investigation
SUMMARY
The House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas), is facing obstruction from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), headed by Alejandro Mayorkas, in its investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Cloud castigated the DHS for obstructing transparency and controlling communication between the Secret Service and the committee. He voiced his concern over DHS's interference and reiterated the seriousness of the security failure during Trump's rally. Cloud indicated that subpoenas were being issued to ensure the Secret Service director's testimony and called for accountability, suggesting that resignations may be necessary. Mayorkas defended Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle despite criticism over security decisions leading up to the incident.
