US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle was put in the hot seat by House Oversight Committee lawmakers on Monday. The committee, composed of both Republican and Democratic leaders, didn’t hold back as they grilled Cheatle over the agency’s recent security lapse.

Her failures, they argued, directly contributed to the alarming incident at a Pennsylvania rally where a gunman managed to get a clear shot at former President Donald Trump. On Monday Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) joined the chorus of voices calling for Cheatle’s resignation, making him the second Democrat to do so.

“Look, I’m not questioning your judgment. I just don’t think this is partisan… an assassination attempt on a president, a former president, or a candidate, you need to resign,” said Khanna.

“That’s what Stuart Knight did. He was a Republican appointee, and he took responsibility. And I think you need to reflect. This is not a question of you. It’s a question of the American people. You cannot go leading a Secret Service agency when there is an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate.”

WATCH:

The call from the California Democrat for her resignation follows an earlier demand by Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA), who was the first in the party to say that Cheatle should step down.

“I am calling on Director Cheatle to resign immediately following last weekend’s shooting of a Presidential candidate in Western Pennsylvania,” Boyle wrote on X over the weekend. “The evidence coming to light has shown unacceptable operational failures. I have no confidence in the leadership of the United States Secret Service if Director Cheatle chooses to remain in her position.”

Director Cheatle must resign immediately.

As investigators continue their search for the attacker’s motive, new details about the gunman have slowly emerged. Despite acknowledging that the agency “failed” during the incident, Cheatle largely defended her decision to remain in her role. Her testimony caused substantial frustration among lawmakers, particularly due to her repeated evasion of their questions. The backlash even culminated in a rare bipartisan call for Cheatle’s resignation.

On Monday afternoon Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) penned a bipartisan letter demanding the resignation of the Secret Service Director.

“Under your leadership failed to protect former President Donald Trump from an assassination attempt that took the life of Corey Comperatore and seriously injured at least two other people,” they wrote. “Today, you failed to provide answers to basic questions regarding that stunning operational failure and to reassure the American people that the Secret Service has learned its lessons and begun to correct its systemic blunders and failures.”

“In the middle of a presidential election, the Committee and the American people demand serious institutional accountability and transparency that you are not providing. We call on you to resign as Director as a first step to allowing new leadership to swiftly address this crisis and rebuild the trust of a truly concerned Congress and the American people.”

A storm is brewing as lawmakers and the public demand answers following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. On Monday, U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle found herself at the center of a heated congressional hearing, addressing security lapses that could have ended disastrously.

Bipartisan frustration has been palpable as representatives from both sides of the aisle have confronted Cheatle and questioned the Secret Service. The shooting in Pennsylvania has led to calls from several lawmakers for Cheatle’s resignation.

Now, the Oversight Project, a watchdog group with the Heritage Foundation, released a report that could potentially link Thomas Crooks, a relatively unknown figure until now, to critical locations in the Washington D.C. area. According to the group’s findings, geo-tracking data from various devices suggests that Crooks had been in close proximity to key sites, including the FBI headquarters and Allegheny Arms—a location of particular interest to investigators.

The Oversight Project utilized mobile ad data—a tool increasingly used in investigative work to track movements and connections. By monitoring devices frequently appearing at both Crooks’s home and workplace, the group has allegedly mapped out a network of locations and times that are critical to understanding the context and potential threats involved.

Someone who regularly visited Crooks home and work also visited a building in Washington, DC located in Gallery Place.

This is in the same vicinity of an @FBI office on June 26, 2023.

Their investigation led to several notable discoveries. One device, in particular, tracked to Crooks’s frequent locations, was also reportedly present in a building in Washington, D.C.’s Gallery Place. This area is notably close to an FBI office and was pinpointed on June 26, 2023. Devices linked to Crooks were traced to Plymouth, MA, and Butler, PA, with one of the devices ceasing activity abruptly on July 12th.

The project also reported that on August 30, 2023, a device associated with Crooks visited Allegheny Arms. In total, at least nine devices connected to Crooks were identified, visiting various significant locations within Bethel Park, PA.

For those that are tracking this type of data, we identified devices that were located at Crook’s home and his work within the past year.

There were at least 9 devices linked to these AD-IDs

We are willing to cooperate with legitimate investigations and share further…

The Heritage Foundation, which oversees the Oversight Project, has purposely not disclosed its methodology or detailed the specific nature of the data used to track Crooks’ movements. They cite the “connective tissue” between this task force and various federal agencies like the FBI and USSS, which could potentially lead to conflicts of interest or compromise the investigation. However, they expressed a willingness to cooperate with legitimate investigations and have called for tips or further information to be sent directly to their secure email.

After over a week of confusion, investigators are still piecing together Crooks’ motivations. Earlier on Monday, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) homed in on the agency’s decision to not place an agent on top of the roof where 20-year-old Crooks was able to fire multiple rifle shots at Trump as he stood on a stage approximately 400 yards away. Cheatle had previously defended the lack of placement, saying the slope of the roof would have interfered with a sniper rifleman’s ability to protect the former president.

WATCH:

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) took his time with the microphone to pin Cheatle down on whether or not her agency diverted resources away from the rally to instead over-staff First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.

WATCH:

Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman, was seen stalking the perimeter of the rally hours before it was set to begin but was not confronted, according to previous reports. During the rally, local law enforcement discovered him crawling along the ground with a rangefinder as he searched for a vantage point to take the shot, but by the time further response to the site came Crooks was already gone.

The FBI is also investigating why a local police officer backed away from confronting Crooks on the roof literally seconds before he fired the first shot at Trump, narrowly grazing his ear before Secret Service agents tackled him to the ground.

On Sunday, President Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election after a tumultuous period capped by his disastrous debate in June. While the official narrative suggests a collective realization within Biden’s inner circle that the party needed new direction, emerging reports hint at a much more dramatic behind-the-scenes confrontation.

Early Saturday, Biden assured senior aides that the campaign was proceeding “full steam ahead.” However, by that evening, after an extensive conversation with his two closest aides, Biden had reversed his decision. Insiders are now pointing to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as the catalyst behind his abrupt decision to withdraw from the presidential race.

Despite being isolated due to testing positive for Covid, Biden absorbed new, troubling insights, including a slowdown in fundraising efforts and devastating polling data. Facing growing pressure from Democratic party elders and his former Senate colleagues, Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race was shaped significantly by the need to maintain control over the narrative.

The strategic exit allowed him to frame the decision as his own, a crucial consideration for First Lady Jill Biden. She was determined to ensure that the president’s dignity remained intact amidst the escalating pressures.

According to insiders, senior aides were on edge anticipating that Pelosi, who had been subtly influencing party dynamics, might publicly reveal Democratic polling results that showed Biden’s precarious position. The move was expected to further catalyze collective action within the party, potentially hastening Biden’s campaign closure.

“Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way,” revealed one Democrat to POLITICO. “She gave them three weeks of the easy way. It was about to be the hard way.”

“We were giving him the respect of the weekend to make his decision. We were hopeful that this is the decision we would make,” the source said. A lawmaker close to the leadership told the outlet that the president had “gone offline” spending time with his family. “He got the message.”

In a series of crucial meetings spread over three days last week, Biden held private discussions with top Democratic leaders, including Pelosi, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Schumer even made a discreet visit to Biden’s beach vacation home in Delaware, a visit that remained under the radar until recently.

Following the NATO Summit, insiders revealed that Pelosi had privately pressed the president to contemplate stepping down. Within just 24 hours, similar stories surfaced about Schumer’s unpublicized visit, suggesting he had conveyed a comparable advisory to Biden. This all aligned with a Washington Post report indicating that former President Barack Obama was also privately expressing his concerns about the viability of Biden’s campaign.

As the inner circle debated, Democratic operatives were already preparing contingency plans to swiftly adapt to potential changes, but Biden’s abrupt announcement on Sunday caught even them by surprise. On Saturday night, members of Biden’s inner circle firmly told a high-ranking Democrat that the president was resolute in continuing his campaign, stating “no ifs, ands or buts.”

However, when this Democrat followed up on Sunday morning, they reported to POLITICO that there was absolutely no chance Biden would think of exiting the race before his upcoming meeting this week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

One White House official summarized the staff’s reaction to the news as “a lot of crying.” They explained, “People believe Joe Biden is a great president, and they’re sad to see him step aside. Most think he made the right move, but they’re still heartbroken.”

Roughly twenty-four hours after Biden dropped out, Pelosi officially issued her endorsement of Kamala Harris as the party’s next leader.

Despite being isolated due to testing positive for Covid, Biden absorbed new, troubling insights, including a slowdown in fundraising efforts and devastating polling data. Facing growing pressure from Democratic party elders and his former Senate colleagues, Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race was shaped significantly by the need to maintain control over the narrative. The strategic exit allowed him to frame the decision as his own, a crucial consideration for First Lady Jill Biden. She was determined to ensure that the president’s dignity remained intact amidst the escalating pressures.

(Official White House Photo by Adam Schultz) According to insiders, senior aides were on edge anticipating that Pelosi, who had been subtly influencing party dynamics, might publicly reveal Democratic polling results that showed Biden’s precarious position. The move was expected to further catalyze collective action within the party, potentially hastening Biden’s campaign closure. “Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way,” revealed one Democrat to POLITICO. “She gave them three weeks of the easy way. It was about to be the hard way.” “We were giving him the respect of the weekend to make his decision. We were hopeful that this is the decision we would make,” the source said. A lawmaker close to the leadership told the outlet that the president had “gone offline” spending time with his family. “He got the message.” In a series of crucial meetings spread over three days last week, Biden held private discussions with top Democratic leaders, including Pelosi, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Schumer even made a discreet visit to Biden’s beach vacation home in Delaware, a visit that remained under the radar until recently.

(Official White House Photo by Adam Schultz) Following the NATO Summit, insiders revealed that Pelosi had privately pressed the president to contemplate stepping down. Within just 24 hours, similar stories surfaced about Schumer’s unpublicized visit, suggesting he had conveyed a comparable advisory to Biden. This all aligned with a Washington Post report indicating that former President Barack Obama was also privately expressing his concerns about the viability of Biden’s campaign. As the inner circle debated, Democratic operatives were already preparing contingency plans to swiftly adapt to potential changes, but Biden’s abrupt announcement on Sunday caught even them by surprise. On Saturday night, members of Biden’s inner circle firmly told a high-ranking Democrat that the president was resolute in continuing his campaign, stating “no ifs, ands or buts.” However, when this Democrat followed up on Sunday morning, they reported to POLITICO that there was absolutely no chance Biden would think of exiting the race before his upcoming meeting this week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. One White House official summarized the staff’s reaction to the news as “a lot of crying.” They explained, “People believe Joe Biden is a great president, and they’re sad to see him step aside. Most think he made the right move, but they’re still heartbroken.” Roughly twenty-four hours after Biden dropped out, Pelosi officially issued her endorsement of Kamala Harris as the party’s next leader.

President Joe Biden has decided not to seek reelection, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor. The major announcement came on Sunday, creating a new shift in the upcoming presidential race.

Now, a candid interview with Frank Biden, the president’s younger brother, has shed new light on personal and possibly troubling insights into Joe Biden’s decision. Frank revealed a mixture of pride and realism during his brief exchange with CBS News. “I’m incredibly proud of my brother,” he said.

“Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left.” His words, hinting at a deeper concern, suggested that the president’s health may be more compromised than previously acknowledged.

According to Frank, the president’s health and vitality were “absolutely” a major factor in his decision to step aside. He lauded his brother’s selflessness and dedication to the country, calling him a “genuine hero.” Frank finished, “The goal remains the same, defeat Trump and continue the work that Joe has done.”

WATCH:

Sunday’s news came as a notable departure from the White House and Biden family’s previous statements, which have consistently denied any significant health concerns affecting Joe Biden’s capabilities. His decision to endorse Harris and step back from the presidential race also sparked various reactions about the implications for the Democrat Party for this November.

Many Democrats and media talking heads have mourned the president’s decision. Delaware Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat and close ally of Biden, was seen breaking down in tears on national television. “Joe Biden is grounded. He’s grounded in his faith, in his family, and in our state. Excuse me,” said Coons as he started to tear up.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. This was a very difficult decision.”

CNN’s Van Jones also became emotional after Biden’s decision to drop out. “It’s kind of like when your grandpa … you gotta take the keys,” he said. “And he’s fighting and he’s fighting you and everybody’s so frustrated. And then you finally get the keys back. Then you just cry.”

“This is somebody that you care about. This is somebody that was there for you. You wouldn’t be here without him,” Jones said on Sunday.

“While it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus entirely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term,” Biden said in his official statement.

In response to Biden’s decision, former President Donald Trump did not mince his words. Trump told NBC News that Biden “is the worst president in the history of the United States by far.”

“There has never been a president who has done such damage to our country, from energy independence to letting in millions and millions of illegal immigrants.” When questioned about his reaction to Biden’s announcement, Trump suggested that Biden’s presidency was a mistake from the start. “He should never have been there in the first place,” adding, “He should have stayed in his basement.”
