“In light of Kimberly Cheatle’s unacceptable handling of the Trump assassination attempt, her disastrous appearance before the House Oversight Committee today, and her refusal to resign, we have no choice but to impeach,” Steube said in a statement to X.and lying while under oath regarding the security breach in Butler, Pennsylvania, that allowed a 20-year-old shooter to fire at Trump, kill one rally attendee, and injure two others.
Steube’s impeachment articles note the details of the investigation in Cheatle’s interviews with news outlets following the shooting; both Democrats and Republicans said it was “concerning” Cheatle gave more information to the media than she did before Congress. The articles also blasted diversity, equity, and inclusion quotas as a reason for a lack of security preparation and responsibility.
