U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle will testify to the House Oversight Committee on Monday amid calls for her resignation or firing in wake of Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

“Americans demand answers from Director Kimberly Cheatle about the Secret Service’s historic security failures that led to the attempted assassination of President Trump, murder of an innocent victim, and harm to others in the crowd,” GOP Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the committee’s chairman, said in a statement confirming the hearing at 10 a.m. ET.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the agency is “committed to better understanding what happened before, during, and after” the shooting “to ensure it never happens again.”
