  • "You wanted to be visible because you're auditioning for this job that you're not going to get," Rep. Pat Fallon told acting Secret Service Director Pat Fallon.

The article details a contentious exchange during a House Oversight Committee hearing between Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. The confrontation arose when Greene questioned Cheatle about the Secret Service's handling of a security breach involving cocaine found at the White House. Greene accused the Secret Service of failing to identify the culprit, suggesting a cover-up, and criticized the agency's performance. Cheatle defended her agency's efforts, explaining the investigative steps taken and the challenges faced due to the small amount of cocaine and the high traffic area where it was found. The hearing escalated into a shouting match, with Greene insisting on accountability and Cheatle maintaining that the Secret Service had followed protocol. This incident highlights ongoing tensions between some GOP lawmakers and federal agencies regarding transparency and security measures.
