The Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee issued a subpoena Wednesday to the Secret Service director compelling her to appear before the committee on Monday for what is scheduled to be the first congressional hearing into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

And even before the first hearing, Republican calls for Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign intensified Wednesday with top Republican leaders from both the House and the Senate saying she should step down. The director has said she has no intention of resigning.

    Secret Service has no idea how to operate a drone LMAO...
  • @jolovesminnis
    Has she seen this so-called sloped roof. Jeeze. What a bunch of malarkey!
  • She said the roof was too sloped but weren’t they already on buildings with “sloped” roofs?? Makes absolutely no sense 🤦‍♀️
  • @Patrick-yh5yd
    The secret service was guarding Mara Lago and those boxes but the FBI said they were unprotected?
  • @TheRbruin10
    So we are finding out that Secret Service knew about the presence of the 20 year old ONE HOUR before he got to the rooftop. Interesting that they weren't in such a hurry to even maybe approach the guy and ask what he was doing loitering around the area.

    One million dollars says, that secret service chief or whatever she is, doesn’t happen to be a trump fan. I bet a million. Just by coincidence
  • She's talking like this is some 45° A-frame roof you would find in the Swiss Alps.
  • @BenVereen2020
    Every basic rule, every protocol. The Secret Service just doesn't make these monumental failures, unless.......
  • @MrSohn2000
    If the slope was a factor of why the FBI director decided not to have her agents secure the roof to protect the president, shouldn’t she think to hire an organization capable of securing it?..
