WATCH: Rep. Nadler’s opening statement in House hearing on FBI investigation into Trump shooting

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., spoke Wednesday in a hearing aimed at questioning FBI Director Christopher Wray about the investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13 at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

"Regardless of my strong feelings about Donald Trump's behavior, I unequivocally and unabashedly condemn with every fiber of my being the attempt against his life. This is not just an attack on a man, but an attack on our democracy," Nadler said in his opening statement.

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.
