After the hourslong testimony that yielded little to no results, ranking member Jamie Raskin joined Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer in asking for Cheatle to resign. Reps. Jared Moskowitz , Ro Khanna , Byron Donalds , and several others called on Cheatle to resign during the hearing.Rep. Greg Steube , who does not sit on the Oversight Committee, is planning to introduce impeachment articles against Cheatle.
Cheatle also said no one has been fired or put in a position to lose their job and would not answer whether she is prepared to fire anyone who was at the event when the investigation reveals specific security failures. “Because Donald Trump is alive today, and thank God he is, you look incompetent,” Turner said. “If Donald Trump had been killed, you would have looked culpable. There is no aspect of this that indicates that there has been any protection to Donald Trump.”
Rep. Byron Donalds questioned why it has been several days since the shooting and Cheatle has yet to provide concrete details to the public.Donalds said. “And, director, you’re in charge. And that’s why you need to go.”“We are currently in the midst of … an especially concentrated presidential campaign,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said. “So the idea that a report will be finalized in 60 days, let alone prior to any actionable decisions that would be made, is simply not acceptable.
