00:00Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute.
00:05Mr. Speaker, like many of the Tennesseans I represent, I was relieved to learn that
00:10Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle resigned on Tuesday.
00:14We all watched as she refused to answer very simple questions at a House oversight hearing
00:20this week.
00:21She did, however, confirm what we all already knew, that a significant operational failure
00:27occurred on July 13th.
00:29Cheadle did not offer an explanation as to why the former president was allowed on stage
00:35after the agency was notified multiple times about a suspicious person.
00:41She did confirm that the roof from which the shooter acted was identified as a possible
00:46vulnerability days before the rally, yet failed to explain why it was not secured.
00:53I support a bipartisan task force to investigate the attempted assassination of former President
00:58Donald Trump.
01:00An armed would-be assassin with a clear line of sight must never again be allowed to get
01:08within 150 yards of a presidential nominee or former president ever again.
01:14Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I yield back.
