Burchett requests Dan Bongino testify on Trump security failures

WASHINGTON, D.C., (Sept. 23, 2024)- U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett (TN-02) sent a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (KY-01) requesting he bring in Dan Bongino to testify in a hearing on the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) security failures that led to two assassination attempts on former President Trump.

"Whether it is because of malice or gross incompetence, the USSS has twice failed in its mission of protecting the former president. Furthermore, current leaders at the USSS are not transparent with Congress. That is why I respectfully encourage the Committee to hold a hearing on these assassination attempts with former special agent Bongino," said Rep. Burchett in the letter.

Dan Bonginoserved as a New York police officer from 195 to 1999 and with the USSS from 1999 to 2011. He has been extensively covering the details of the assassination attempts and the failures of the USSS on his popular podcast, the Dan Bongino Show. Rep. Burchett's full letter can be found here.
