Secret Service Director Called to Testify Before House Over Assassination Attempt on President Trump
House Republicans are demanding answers from the Secret Service surrounding its massive security failure that allowed the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump to occur on Saturday.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) called on U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to testify at a hearing on Monday, July 22, to answer for the agency’s failure to prevent the attempt on Trump’s life.
“I have already contacted the Secret Service for a briefing and am also calling on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to appear for a hearing,” Comer wrote on X Sunday.

Videos and eyewitness accounts of the shooting led many people to question how the shooter was able to get past security and take aim at Trump with a rifle from a couple hundred yards away.
Some eyewitnesses even tried warning the authorities about suspicious activity but were ignored.

The security lapses were so glaring and obvious that many people, including Elon Musk and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, have called for the immediate resignations of Secret Service leadership.

The Biden controlled Secret Service stood down. Whoever gave the order not to have security on those rooftops knew exactly what they were doing. Now the federal agency responsible for trying to get Trump killed will conduct an investigation of themselves. https://t.co/2Th40grJLr

The FBI said at a press conference late Saturday that it was “surprising” the shooter was able to fire multiple shots at Trump and that a “long investigation” was forthcoming.
“There’s going to be a long investigation into exactly what took place and how the individual was able to get access to the location, what type of weapon he had—all that is really days, weeks and months of investigation,” an FBI spokesperson said.
Notably, no Secret Service representatives or leadership were present at the press conference.
The FBI special agent acknowledges “it is surprising” the shooter was able to fire off several rounds. Again, the Secret Service is unable to answer any questions because they aren’t at this press conference right now. Which is pretty stunning.

“The Winds of Change Have Arrived:” Melania Calls For Americans to Reunite, Wield Love Over Politics
Melania Trump released a statement calling on Americans to unite immediately in the wake of the failed assassination attempt of President Donald Trump.
The former First Lady’s Sunday morning message makes it clear that today is a new day and what connects us all is stronger than any frame of the “inhuman political machine.”
— MELANIA TRUMP (@MELANIATRUMP) July 14, 2024
Transcript below:
I am thinking of you, now, my fellow Americans.
We have always been a unique union. America, the fabric of our gentle nation is tattered, but our courage and common sense must ascend and bring us back together as one.
When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron’s life, were on the brink of devastating change. I am grateful to the brave secret service agents and law enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect my husband.
To the families of the innocent victims who are now suffering from this heinous act, I humbly offer my sincerest sympathy. Your need to summon your inner strength for such a terrible reason saddens me.
A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald’s passion – his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration. The core facets of my husband’s life – his human side – were buried below the political machine. Donald, the generous and caring man who I have been with through the best of times and the worst of times.
Let us not forget that differing opinions, policy, and political games are inferior to love. Our personal, structural, and life commitment – until death – is at serious risk. Political concepts are simple when compared to us, human beings.
We are all humans, and fundamentally, instinctively, we want to help one another. American politics are only one vehicle that can uplift our communities. Love, compassion, kindness and empathy are necessities.
And let us remember that when the time comes to look beyond the left and the right, beyond the red and the blue, we all come from families with the passion to fight for a better life together, while we are here, in this earthly realm
Dawn is here again. Let us reunite. Now.
This morning, ascend above the hate, the vitriol, and the simple-minded ideas that ignite violence. We all want a world where respect is paramount, family is first, and love transcends. We can realize this world again. Each of us must demand to get it back. We must insist that respect fills the cornerstone of our relationships, again.
I am thinking of you, my fellow Americans.
The winds of change have arrived. For those of you who cry in support, I thank you. I commend those of you who have reached out beyond the political divide – thank you for remembering that every single politician is a man or a woman with a loving family.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Alex Jones Responds To Failed Attempted Assassination Of President Trump
Teen Illegal Charged in Deadly Shooting Spree in Charlotte
A Honduran teenager who is in the U.S. illegally has been charged with murder following a series of shootings in North Carolina last week, according to reports.
The deadly crime spree unfolded between 1:00 and 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday in Charlotte.
A pair of suspects opened fire upon at least five random victims across the city, killing one.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) was initially notified about a motorist who had been shot by someone in a passing vehicle.
Responding officers encountered a victim who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Over the next 30 minutes or so, another driver reported that his vehicle had been struck by gunfire and a bicyclist said he had been shot at.
Occupants of an additional vehicle told CMPD someone had opened fire upon them, and then a woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries after being hit by a bullet inside her residence.
Another bicyclist was found shot just before 1:30 a.m. and transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
“In the early morning hours of Thursday, July 11, 2024, officers observed a suspicious vehicle in a patrolled area. Officers initiated a traffic stop and located a juvenile suspect believed to be connected to the series of shooting incidents inside of the vehicle. The juvenile was taken into custody without incident. Officers also recovered a firearm and the suspect’s vehicle,” CMPD explained in a press release on Thursday.
“The 16-year-old was transported to the Law Enforcement Center (LEC) in Uptown (601 E. Trade St.) to be interviewed by Homicide detectives. During the course of the investigation, Carlos Roberto Diaz 18, was identified as a second suspect in this case.”
Diaz was located a short time later and taken into custody.
He now faces a slew of charges, including first-degree murder, five counts of attempted murder, felony conspiracy to commit murder, two counts of shooting into an occupied vehicle, and two counts of shooting into an occupied dwelling.
The 16-year-old was also charged with first-degree murder and is expected to face additional charges, according to CMPD.
“I’ve learned Roberto-Diaz and the juvenile who were both arrested and charged in this crime, had just left a party and decided to drive around the city to shoot at random people,” WSOC TV journalist Hunter Sáenz reported on Friday, citing an affidavit.

Later on Friday, Sáenz revealed that Diaz is an illegal alien from Honduras.
“The suspect, who was 14 years old at the time, had an encounter with Border Patrol along the Rio Grande River in Mexico back in 2019,” WSOC TV reports.

Media Attacks Trump For Saying ‘Fight!’ Amid Assassination Attempt, Plays Up ‘Retaliatory Violence’ & Jan. 6
Pundits at CNN, CBS, and ABC tried to portray Donald Trump and his supporters as the bad guys despite the fact the former president was almost murdered on live television in front of the world during a rally.
CNN’s Jamie Gangel attacked Trump for pumping his fist and saying “Fight! Fight! Fight!” in the seconds after a bullet clipped his ear and Secret Service swarmed him at the podium and whisked him away to safety.
“There was one thing when I watched the tape that I found odd because of all the heated rhetoric. And that is that after he was hit, former President Trump got up and said ‘Fight, fight, fight,’” she said Saturday evening.

“I think what we’re hearing from people is that’s not the message that we want to being sending right now. We want to tamp it down,” she added.
Over at CBS News, anchor Margaret Brennan and contributor Samantha Vinograd also scolded Trump for not telling his followers to “lower the temperature” following the attempt on his life.
“This was a traumatic moment no doubt for him, but I did notice there was no call for lowering the temperature, condemning all political violence, and really trying to signal to his supporters as well not to retaliate or to have any kind of escalation here,” Brennan said.

They played up the possibility of “retaliatory violence” from Trump supporters in response to the attempted assassination of Trump and even warned of another January 6 incident.
“The biggest threat that officials are telling me tonight is in the form of retaliatory violence,” Vinograd said.

— Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) July 14, 2024
Brennan agreed, saying, “You’re taking me to exactly what I’ve been underscoring, which is frankly very concerning with the rhetoric we’re seeing at this hour already.”
“We are seeing some Republican lawmakers come out with statements directly drawing a line between the shooter, whose name we do not know, we do not know if he’s a lone actor or with somebody else, but drawing some connection to the government,” she said.
Vinograd added that it’s “unpatriotic to be stoking the flames” and claimed that intelligence officials are worried Trump supporters could “retaliate against the Biden campaign.”
“This kind of rhetoric has a nexus to violence. We saw that on January 6, we saw that in the attack against Nancy Pelosi’s husband, and multiple other instances,” she added.
This shameful and dishonest tone by the mainstream media runs in tandem with equally egregious headlines downplaying and dismissing the attempt on Trump’s life.

Likewise, ABC anchors George Stephanopoulos and Martha Raddatz blamed Trump for his own assassination attempt and also invoked January 6 to argue that Trump supporters are violent.
“President Trump and his supporters have contributed to this violent rhetoric as well,” Stephanopoulos claimed Sunday on “This Week.”

“Absolutely, George…And let’s remember January 6th,” Raddatz said.
Rather than report on the facts objectively, the media instead spins the attempted assassination of Trump as a Republican call to violence against the Democrats or Joe Biden.
They’re already spinning this as “Republicans pounce.”
