6:21Now PlayingRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said a 60-day timeline for a finalized, internal U.S. Secret Service investigation is not acceptable, echoing other lawmakers’ frustrations at the lack of answers provided at a congressional hearing into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
The New York Democrat questioned Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle in a House Oversight hearing Monday about the attempted assassination of Trump at a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“The public deserves to have full confidence, and the stakes are too high,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “The violence that could break out in this political moment, regardless of party, in the event of someone getting hurt, constitutes a national security threat to the entire country.”
Cheatle stressed to lawmakers that she wasn’t “waiting for a report to take action.”
The director said the agency has been adding additional features to its security detail since the shooting.
