--:-- Georgia Howe: Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle faced tough questioning today in the House regarding the security failures that led up to the attempt on former President Trump's life. Her testimony was underscored by constant deflections, often refusing to give specifics and noting that she did not have certain resources.

Republicans and Democrats were united in their criticism of Director Cheadle, with many committee members calling for her to resign.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: During one heated exchange, Nancy Mace grilled Cheadle over evidence not provided to the committee. Has the Secret Service provided this committee a complete list of all law enforcement personnel that were there that day? Yes or no. I have to get back to you on that. That is a no.
--:-- Nancy Mace: Have you provided all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee as we asked on July 15th? Yes or no? I would have to get back to you. That is a no.
--:-- Georgia Howe: You're full of s**t today. You're just being completely dishonest. Mr. Chairman, we have to maintain decorum in this committee.
