House Republican members on the Oversight Committee said Tuesday the Department of Homeland Security has taken over communications between the committee and the U.S. Secret Service and refuses to confirm a time for a briefing that was supposed to take place today.
The interposition by the Department of Homeland Security comes as Congress is seeking answers from the Secret Service about the security failure at Donald Trump's July 13 rally in Pennsylvania where an attempt was made on the former president's life. The USSS had previously agreed to brief the committee Tuesday.
"After the Secret Service agreed to brief members of the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security took over communications with the Committee and has since refused to confirm a briefing time. The Oversight Committee has a long record of bipartisan oversight of the Secret Service and the unprofessionalism we are witnessing from current DHS leadership is unacceptable," a spokeswoman for the Oversight Committee said in a statement shared with Just the News Tuesday.
"While the Secret Service confirmed Director Cheatle is expected to appear for the Committee’s hearing on July 22, to head off any attempt by DHS to backtrack on her appearance, the Chairman will issue a subpoena for her to attend. Director Cheatle must answer to Congress and the American people about the historic failure that occurred on her watch," she added.
The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It is long past time for the weak suck Repukelicans to Subpoena is lying witch.
Arrest them. Aren’t they (House) able to do that?
They are very busy shredding documents and destroying computer files.
Then they have to create an official narrative (i.e., pack of lies) and make sure every other agency involved in the assassination plot is on board.
These things take time.
Cheatle said she would come to congress and answer questions but see my #19 on this thread.
It will be the same as it always was (hat tip to Talking Heads)
But maybe the public, as they hear the ridiculous clips and see the memes from said clips, will be reminded of the Biden Admin incompetence and that they can’t keep anyone safe.
A sloped roof is always better cover than a flat one. What is this stupid broad talking about?
I guess we know how high the inside job went now.
At least up to Mayorkas, maybe farther.
Probably ordered by whoever is the “commander in chief” that Biden reports to...
she is saying it poses a falling off risk. i guess more than jumping in front of a bullet.

We are here because of the Surrender Monkeys.
The agencies know they win every time against the Republicans, who ALWAYS fold.
Lois Lerner
Mueller
John Huber
John Durham
IG Horowitz
They know how this ends, very quietly on a Friday afternoon, years and years down the road.
We have little faith in our government now. Stonewalling this would be the final blow.

Republicans only do Failure Theatre.
They are going to slowly give the Dems what they want.
The people they need to get ASAP are the actual agents. Find out what the heck was actually going on.
Were they told they couldn’t take out an imminent threat when they had their sights on him?
Apparently not when they're republicans
When I was young and naive I once called the office of trey Gowdy and commended him on his questioning about something or other.
Now that I am old and jaded I realize it is just posturing BS.
That’s because Mayorkas’s patsy on the roof got his head blown off...
Mayorkas thought he had the best laid plans...
Are they still operating under Obama’s rules where documents are all put into electronic files so that even if paper records get shredded there is still a permanent record?
I’ve heard it said that the records that Jack Smith claimed Trump was trying to run off with were already actually automatically stored electronically so there was never any danger that they were going to be lost.
If that’s her story then that’s ridiculous. She’s just a democrat partisan boob obviously.
Add Merrick Garland and Hunter Biden to that list. They just flip republicans the bird.
