During a recent hearing on the attempted assassination of former President Trump, Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., expressed strong criticism towards Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle. The hearing, which took place following the incident at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, shed light on various aspects of the case.
One of the key points of contention was the discovery of explosives in the possession of the shooter. When questioned by Burchett, Cheatle clarified that it was the FBI, not the Secret Service, who found the explosives. Burchett further inquired about the source of the instructions for making the explosives, to which Cheatle responded that the FBI was still investigating that aspect.
