The House Committee on Homeland Security is set to hold a hearing on Tuesday at 10 a.m. to address the response to the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump. The incident occurred on July 13 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The committee aims to thoroughly examine the facts and circumstances surrounding the attempted assassination. Testimonies will be provided by Colonel Christopher L. Paris, commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, and Patrick Yoes, national president of the Fraternal Order of Police.
In a statement, the Chairman expressed concerns over the lack of cooperation from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Director Cheatle's refusal to testify before the Committee. The Chairman emphasized the importance of understanding the failures that led to the incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, in order to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
The hearing on Capitol Hill is crucial for shedding light on the events of July 13 and ensuring the safety of the nation's leaders and communities. It is an opportunity to honor the dedication and bravery of the individuals who work tirelessly to protect the country.
