Florida Senator Rick Scott sent a letter to President Joe Biden demanding his administration, and specifically U.S. Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle, provide answers, transparency and accountability amid the investigation of the assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump, murder of innocent American Corey Comperatore, and serious injury of others.
The Republican Florida Senator said he has been hearing from Floridians and folks across America asking questions about what is happening with the federal government’s investigation.
“It is imperative that the American people know that the U.S. government is answering questions and holding people accountable for the failures that led to this totally preventable tragedy,” U.S. Senator Rick Scott wrote.
“Now is the time for absolute transparency and accountability.”
This letter follows a briefing of Senator Scott and his Senate colleagues from the USSS and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The Senator demanded a daily public press conference from FBI Director Christopher Wray, USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to share updates with the American people and answer questions about what happened, who is being held accountable, and how we make sure it never happens again.
“It is a miracle that President Trump is alive and well, but absolutely inexcusable that the deranged would-be assassin had a direct line of sight to the former president and the leading candidate for President of the United States,” the Republican Senator wrote the Democratic President.
