Today, several Senate Republicans expressed dissatisfaction with the briefing they received from top officials regarding the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The briefing, which included Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle, Deputy Director Ron Rowe, FBI Director Chris Wray, and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate, was met with criticism from members of the Senate GOP.
The briefing, held at 3 p.m. ET, was followed by a similar session with the House of Representatives. Senate GOP Conference Chair John Barrasso went as far as calling for Cheatle to step down from her position following the briefing. Barrasso emphasized the seriousness of the situation, stating, 'Someone has died. The President was almost killed. The head of the Secret Service needs to go.'
