Rep. Lucy McBath, D-Ga., spoke in a House Judiciary hearing Wednesday with FBI Director Christopher Wray that was focused on the investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13 at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
McBath asked rhetorically if the near-assassination of former President Donald Trump was enough for congressional lawmakers to take action against assault weapons.
The House Oversight Committee grilled Kimberly Cheatle, director of the U.S. Secret Service at the time of the deadly shooting, on Monday. Members on both sides of the aisle called for her resignation and she announced Tuesday she was stepping down. Cheatle repeatedly referred lawmakers seeking details to the investigation being carried out by the FBI.
