Republican Sen. Josh Hawley recently expressed frustration with the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service for allegedly obstructing the committee investigating the first assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Hawley criticized the lack of cooperation from these agencies, stating that they are withholding crucial documentation from the committee.
During a discussion about potentially investigating a recent assassination attempt, Hawley highlighted the challenge posed by the DHS and Secret Service's reluctance to provide necessary information. He questioned the motives behind their lack of transparency, asking why they are resistant to being held accountable.
Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who leads the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee overseeing the investigation into the initial assassination attempt on Trump, echoed Hawley's concerns.
