In a letter to Cheatle accompanying the subpoena, Comer said Americans aren’t getting accountability and transparency from the Secret Service about security failures that allowed a gunman to fire shots at Trump during a rally on Saturday in Pennsylvania. Comer questioned Cheatle’s ability to lead the agency.” You can read more here: https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-biden-rnc-election-2024/card/secret-service-director-summoned-to-testify-before-congress-uchOceQMYmTQJ1mdQtSL
