House Oversight Committee to be briefed by Secret Service on Trump assassination attempt
The House Oversight Committee will get a virtual briefing from the Secret Service on Tuesday following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, according to a source familiar.
In addition to the briefing, members are expecting Director Kimberly Cheatle to appear before a hearing of the committee on July 22, according to the same source. The hearing is set to fall a week after the Republican National Convention, where Trump is set to become the GOP nominee for president.
This comes after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said in a post on X that the House will “conduct a full investigation” into the shooting after a man with a semiautomatic rifle accessed a roof that was only 140 yards from Trump’s stage.
The Secret Service is now under scrutiny for the worst security breach since the 1981 attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan.

In a notice sent by the Senate Notification Center late Saturday in the wake of the assassination attempt, Senate offices were told that the Capitol Police was “not tracking any additional threats to Members.” House offices received a similar notice earlier in the day.
