Washington DC – 22 July 2024
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Kimberly Cheatle , U.S. Secret Service Director:
"What I can tell you is that, there was a plan in place to provide overwatch, and we are still looking into responsibilities. And who was going to provide Overwatch? But the Secret Service in general, not speaking specifically to this incident when we are providing overwatch, whether that be through counter snipers or other technology, prefer to have sterile rooftops.
2. Cutaway of House Committee meeting
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Kimberly Cheatle , U.S. Secret Service Director:
"If the detail had been passed, information that there was a threat, the detail would never have brought the former president out onto stage. That is what we do, and that is who we are. We are charged with protecting all of our protectors.
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Jaime Raskin, (D) Maryland:
"So you distinguish between someone who is suspicious and someone who is threatening. Is that right?
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Kimberly Cheatle , U.S. Secret Service Director:
"There are a number of times at protective events where suspicious people are identified, and those individuals have to be investigated and determined what is it that identifies that person as suspicious."
6. Cutaway
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Kimberly Cheatle , U.S. Secret Service Director:
"But again, knowing that we’re nine days out, I would say, as I have said from the very outset, I accept responsibility for this tragedy. We are going to look into how this happened, and we are going to take corrective action to ensure that it never happens again."
8. Cutaway
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Mike Turner, (R) Ohio:
"Director Cheadle, because Donald Trump is alive and thank God he is you look incompetent. If Donald Trump had been killed, you would have looked culpable. There is no aspect of this that indicates that there has been any protection to Donald Trump."
10. Cutaway
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Virginia Foxx, (R) North Carolina:
++SHOT CHANGES FROM SOURCE++
"But you think you are the best person in the country to head the Secret Service."
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Kimberly Cheatle , U.S. Secret Service Director:
"I think that I am the best person to lead the Secret Service at this time."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Ro Khanna, (D) California:
"Now, Director Cheatle, "would you agree that this is the most serious security lapse since President Reagan was shot in 1981, of the Secret Service?
CHEATLE: "Yes, sir, I would."
KHANNA: "And, you know, do you know what Stuart Knight did when he was in charge at the time of the Secret Service? You know what? He did that afterwards.
CHEATLE: "He remained on duty."
KHANNA: "He resigned. He resigned. And Stuart Knight was not a Democratic appointee or Republican appointee. Look, I’m not questioning your judgment, and I just don’t think this is partisan. If you have an assassination attempt on a president, a former president, or, a candidate, you need to resign. That’s what Stuart Knight did. He was a Republican appointee, and he took responsibility.
