Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said that he and ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., would be sending a letter to request the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle after a House Oversight hearing Monday on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

“This committee is not known for its model of bipartisanship, but I think today we came together unanimously in our disappointment for your lack of answers,” Comer said.

“I sincerely hoped that the hearing today would give not just Congress confidence in the Secret Service, but the American people would have confidence in the Secret Service,” he said. “We don’t have confidence.”
