REP. MARY MILLER CALLS ON SECRET SERVICE DIRECTOR TO RESIGN AFTER HOUSE BRIEFING

July 17, 2024

WASHINGTON - Today, Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) joined a House briefing on the status of the investigation into the assassination attempt on President Trump. Representative Miller released the following statement:

"I am gravely concerned that so many important questions remain unanswered, especially as reports suggest law enforcement and Secret Service were aware that this man posed a threat at multiple points during the day.

"I fully support the special House task force suggested by Speaker Johnson and Representative Cory Mills to investigate this matter, including the revelation that Secret Service diverted resources to a last-minute Jill Biden event in Pittsburgh despite threats from Iran against President Trump's life.

"The American people deserve answers on how the leading candidate for President came within an inch of being assassinated, and Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle should resign for failing to adequately protect President Trump."
