ai generated text
The US Secret Service has announced its cooperation with an independent review following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The incident occurred when a shooter opened fire, but Trump survived and was removed from the stage by the Secret Service team. According to reports, the shooter was approximately 122 meters away from Trump at the time of the attack. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has rescheduled a virtual meeting with Republican members of the House Homeland Security Committee and will also brief members of the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday.
We understand the importance of the independent review announced by President (Joe) Biden yesterday and will participate fully.
I am confident in the security plan our Secret Service RNC coordinator and our partners have put in place, which we have reviewed and strengthened in the wake of Saturday's shooting.
The Secret Service is working with all involved Federal, state and local agencies to understand what happened, how it happened, and how we can prevent an incident like this from ever taking place again.
We understand the importance of the independent review announced by President Biden yesterday and will participate fully. We will also work with the appropriate Congressional committees on any oversight action.
Thank you, President Biden, for extending me Secret Service protection.
