Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., questioned Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle in a House Oversight hearing Monday on the July 13 attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Lee questioned whether the gunman was viewed as “suspicious” or “a threat” and whether the rally where the shooting took place could have been called off.

Cheatle said that while the gunman was identified as a “suspicious” person prior to the shooting, the Secret Service had not yet considered him a threat.

“We’re talking about the distinction between suspicious behavior and a threat. And at the time this individual was identified their behavior was suspicious,” Cheatle said.
