Members of the House of Representatives intend to summon Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle, as well as representatives of the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to testify as soon as possible. This was reported by the WSJ, according to UNN.

Details

In a separate post on social media on Saturday, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, also a Kentucky Republican, James Comer, posted a copy of a letter to Kimberly Cheatle inviting her to appear at a hearing scheduled for July 22. A spokesman for the Secret Service said that the service had "neutralized" the suspected shooter.

Context

Donald Trump was shot in the ear at a campaign rally on Saturday due to a possible security breach. The attack is likely to affect the outcome of the ongoing presidential campaign and highlight fears of possible political violence. The incident once again highlights the challenges of ensuring security at high-level events.

The FBI has taken over the  investigation into the attack, calling for full transparency and the full circumstances of what happened. This event was the first time in many years that a candidate of a major party was attacked.
