Raskin and Comer urge Secret Service director appearance in rare joint statement

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) issued a rare joint statement Friday urging Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to appear “without delay” for a hearing Monday to discuss the weekend’s assassination attempt of former President Trump.

The statement from the top Republican and Democrat on the panel signals that congressional scrutiny of the Secret Service director is bipartisan, even if Republicans have been more vocal and critical of Cheatle.
