AOC Criticizes Secret Service Director for Slow Investigation into Trump Shooting Timeline
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is joining lawmakers in grilling the director of the Secret Service — and she thinks the timetable to investigate the Trump shooting is BS.
The NY congresswoman — who’s one of Trump’s biggest critics, and seen as incredibly liberal — shocked many from across the aisle after she too dogpiled Kimberly Cheatle during her testimony on Capitol Hill … asking hard questions about the attempted assassination.

In addition to pointing out how much of a failure the security was that day — AOC said she found it absolutely unacceptable that it’ll take 60 days to get clear answers.
Director Cheatle and the Secret Service have given themselves 2 months to get to the bottom of what went wrong — and amid outcry that it could possibly take that long … Rep. Ocasio-Cortez sounded off, saying the results of the probe needed to come sooner.

AOC said the fact a former president had almost lost his life should sound the alarm on the urgency of the matter … and she emphasized it didn’t matter that Trump is a Republican.
She said it was incredibly disturbing this sort of security failure could take place … and demanded Cheatle get answers out to the American people well before the 60-day deadline she and her agency have given themselves.
The congresswoman isn’t the only Dem to be railing on Cheatle BTW — the director is getting hard questions from both Republicans and Democrats … and it’s a tough scene, for sure.
