The exchange came during a heated hearing which saw frustration boil over from both Democrats and Republicans.
WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 22: United States Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle testifies before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee during a hearing at the Rayburn House Office Building on July 22, 2024 in Washington, DC. Cheatle has vowed cooperation with all investigations into the agency following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., took aim at U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberl Cheatle on Monday for appearing to dodge questions during her testimony on Capitol Hill.After informing Cheatle her questions would require a yes or no answer, Rep. Mace drilled the Secret Service director over the attempted assassination. In one question, Rep. Mace asked how Cheatle’s opening statement had leaked to the media before she sent it to the committee.“Well, that’s bulls***” Rep. Mace fired back.
Rep. Mace went on to ask whether Cheatle was cooperating with the committee and asked if she had submitted information requested by the committee.“That is a no,” she said. “You’re full of s*** today. You’re just being completely dishonest.” The rebuttal led to calls for decorum in the chamber. Cheatle told lawmakers during the hearing she regretted the events at Trump's rally and promised to work to prevent similar instances in the future.
“We must learn what happened, and I will move heaven and earth to ensure that an incident like July 13th does not happen again,” she said.Jackson Walker on X at @_jlwalker_ for the latest trending national news. Have a news tip? Send it to [email protected].
