House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) will visit the site of the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump in Butler, Pa., on Monday.
Green’s visit, which will include 10 other committee members, aims to investigate the security lapses that led to the incident, which also resulted in the death of Corey Comperatore.
Trump was injured by a bullet in the ear during the shooting and was seen with a bandage at the Republican National Convention.
The Secret Service is under scrutiny for allowing the gunman to access a rooftop with a clear view of Trump, The Hill has reported.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has called for new Secret Service leadership, citing the attack as a serious threat to American democracy.
President Biden also remarked on the heightened political rhetoric following the shooting.
