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.

There are almost certainly records somewhere—NSA has them if nobody else does.
That said—Democrats think the laws and regulations don’t apply to them—and so far that analysis has proven correct.
Not THAT sloped.
Every single time about everything.
That’s what I’d love to know but they’ll never get there. Have you seen what happens to whistleblowers when they tell on the democrats? Careers ended and worse.
What was the pitch of the roof? I haven’t read of it.
If you want posturing BS then Trey Gowdy was the right republican to get it from. I can’t believe Fox News gave him a show. Just another reason why I never watch them anymore.
How about “The sun was in my eyes”. Works in baseball.
Excuses excuses.... Congress needs to stop screwing around. Subpoena everyone from the SS that was there that day. And everyone up the chain of command. No excuses. And be ready to go for prison time immediately if they don’t comply. No second and third chances either. Until congress grows some balls then they will treated defiantly from now until the end of time. And quicker congress gets it done the more likely they are get some honest answers.
If we can get rid of the people who would end the whistleblowers’ careers...
I’d love to see Mayorkas hauled off by the sergeant-at-arms for inherent contempt...
I hope that these people who saw Trump’s defiance at the attempt to kill him - and saw how God protected him! - will take heart and tell the truth.
Little faith in our government? I have none. I believe the entire assassination efforts was condoned by Trump’s own SS detail. And the FBI absolutely hate his guts. As does the other 16 agencies. He was warned they have 6 ways till Sunday to get him. And they did.
Right. I talked about playing ball up there a few hours ago. The pitch is so small.
Belly laugh!
In my younger poverty stricken days I lived in a crappy apartment where the kitchen floor had more pitch than that roof.
;-)
.
They didn’t even get rid of the woman working for David Weiss that tipped off Hunter numerous times before Search Warrants could be executed.
The quirky Biden appointee......head of the SS agency .......said she decided not to guard the roof from which Crooks opened fire on President Trump because it was “too slanted” and “there’s a safety factor about putting an agent up on a sloped roof,” she told ABC News in a startling admission.
So a “sloped roof” was a problem b/c an agent might get hurt,
but the moron figured it was alright for Trump to get shot in the head
That’s why democrat assistant Trey Gowdy didn’t seek re-election in 2018.
