(Breitbart) The agency run by impeached migration czar Alejandro Mayorkas is interfering with the House’s investigation into the attempted murder of President Donald Trump, Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas), told Breitbart News.
The shooting was “an epic failure,” Cloud told Breitbart News during an interview at the GOP’s national convention, adding, “It is very concerning that right off the bat, we see DHS [Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security] obfuscating as opposed to being transparent. This should be something that, regardless of party, we don’t allow this kind of thing in our country.”
The Secret Service agency is part of Mayorkas’s DHS. It is run by sociology graduate Kimberly Cheatle.
Cloud is a member of the House’s oversight committee, which is chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-KY).
“We were scheduled for a first briefing today, just on the facts of the case, what’s going on, what they know now, and DHS has stepped in between the communications now of the Secret Service and the Oversight Committee, and are now trying to control the communication between the two committees,” Cloud told Breitbart News during an interview at the GOP’s national convention.
Mayorkas is now rushing to pick people within “days” for a supposedly independent review of the agency’s failure.
Since 2021, Mayorkas has used his independent power within President Joe Biden’s administration to promote the interests of migrants and to aid the migration of roughly 10 million migrants into Americans’ communities, homes, and workplaces throughout the United States. That elite-backed agenda led to his impeachment by the House in February 2024 and has crashed Biden’s polls in the 2024 election.
Cloud continued: “So Chairman Comer is issuing subpoenas to make sure that the Secret Service director does appear [at a hearing]. Right now, we have a committee scheduled for the day we go back next week, on Monday, to make sure that she does appear and that we are being able to begin this investigation.”
“Already they’re obfuscating it, it would seem,” Cloud said, adding, “We should be able to get that preliminary information out, realizing that, okay, this is going to take more than one briefing … But you know, this is coming from the same administration who was labeling Catholics as terrorists, people who go to school board meetings as terrorists, yet they fail to protect a former president of the United States and a political opponent. We’ve seen this administration target political opponents before, and then now fail epically in protecting a former president — and we will say, future — President of the United States. And so this is extremely concerning.”
Congressman Cloud continued.
“I’ll say this right off the bat: [With] any failure like this of the Secret Service … the honorable thing [for the director] to do is to resign at this point. She’ll talk about, ‘Well, we need to make sure this never happens again.’ That’s not the job description. The job description is to make sure that this never happens, period.We got to take the ‘again’ out of that. You should not get two assassination attempts under your belt as director of the Secret Service.”
“So we’re going to have to continue to look into this as the information becomes available,” Cloud added.
