The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives are set to receive separate virtual briefings regarding the attempted assassination of former President Trump. The Senate briefing is scheduled to commence at 3 p.m. ET, followed by the House briefing half an hour later.
Leading the briefings will be Secret Service Deputy Director Ronald Rowe and Deputy FBI Director Paul Abbate. Additionally, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is anticipated to issue a subpoena for Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle, compelling her testimony at a hearing on Monday.
The House Homeland Security Committee has expressed its intent to gather more information on the events that unfolded on Saturday. In a statement released shortly after the incident, the Committee announced its contact with the United States Secret Service and its request for an official briefing for members.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has pledged to summon Cheatle and other relevant officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI to appear before the House and provide necessary explanations.
