Chairman Kelly: I want to personally commend the former president and his family for the incredible strength they have shown since July 13th. I can't imagine anybody looking at this, and looking at it; please, separate the politics from all of this. This is a United States citizen running for a political office. He has a wife, he has children, he has grandchildren; nowhere in our whole scope of government can we accept the fact that these people jeopardize, or put their life in danger, by running for a public office. Totally unacceptable.
LIVE: Task Force hearing on attempted assassination of President Trump
Lenz [Butler County Emergency Services Unit]: At no point during the planning process was Butler County ESU asked to secure the AGR complex, nor the perimeter surrounding that area. At no point during the planning process was Butler ESU asked to deploy a sniper team to the roof of the AGR complex, and at no point in our operations plan did we ever say that we would deploy a sniper team to the roof of the AGR complex. From their positions inside the AGR building, snipers were not able to see the roof where the shooter was located, and again, that was not within their area of responsibility.
Herold [Pennsylvania State Police]: The Pennsylvania State Police provided all resources requested by the Secret Service. The Secret Service did not ask me, as the officer in charge of PSP assets, to post a car, a trooper, at the AGR International property. Nor am I aware that Secret Service making that request to any other PSP official…PSP was not responsible for securing the building or property at AGR International.
Sullivan: Currently, there is no statutory requirement mandating federal, state, and local agencies, must report to the Secret Service information concerning threats against the president, or other protectees.
Waltz: Was it ever discussed with you that an Iranian operative has transited Venezuela, and was in the United States, according to FBI public notice made in March, recruiting hitmen to kill President Trump?
Lenz: It was not.
