During a recent hearing before the House Oversight Committee, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle revealed that there were multiple communications regarding a suspicious individual at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania before the incident occurred. Cheatle mentioned that there were between 2 and 5 instances of communication about the individual prior to the first shots being fired.
One committee member, Rep. Maxwell Frost, questioned why the event was not paused when there were indications of a potential threat. Cheatle explained that she was unsure of the exact timeline of when the Secret Service shift and the counter sniper were notified about the suspicious individual.
