'Guessing or Lying?': Jim Jordan Torches Secret Service Director During Fiery Exchange at Oversight Hearing [Watch]

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan went after Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle on the Hill on Monday during an Oversight hearing on the failures that led to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life.

Jordan zeroed in on reports that the Secret Service turned down the Trump campaign’s request for more security.

“So which is it? Because both statements can’t be true. Were you guessing or lying when you said you didn’t turn down a request from President Trump’s detail?” Jordan asked Cheatle.

“Neither,” Cheatle responded. “What I can tell you is that for the event in Butler, there were no requests that were denied,” she added, referring to the Pennsylvania town where Trump’s rally was held.

“Maybe they got tired of asking,” Jordan fired back. “Maybe you turned them down so darn much they said, ‘Not worth asking!’”

Cheatle wouldn’t specify the number of times the Trump campaign was denied resources.

“A denial of a request does not equal a vulnerability. There are a number of ways that threats and risks can be mitigated with a number of different assets, whether that be through personnel, whether that be through technology or other resources,” she said.

“What to change from absolutely false unequivocally false to ‘Oh, by the way, there were some times where we didn’t give them what they wanted’. That’s a huge change in five days. And the fact that you can’t answer how many times you did that, that’s pretty darn frustrating, not just for me, but for the country,” Jordan said.
