During a Congressional hearing, Rep. Jim Jordan fiercely questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray about the inadequate security measures at a recent Trump rally in Pennsylvania. Jordan’s opening statement demanded answers regarding decisions made before, during, and after the event, highlighting a need for transparency and accountability.

“About decisions made before the rally, questions about actions during the rally, and questions about statements made after the event concluded,” Jordan began. He pressed Wray on several critical points. “Prior to the rally, why was the President’s security detail denied requests for extra resources? Why weren’t all the buildings secured? There were a finite number of buildings that needed to be secured. Why wasn’t that done? Why was the president allowed to walk out on the stage when there was a suspicious person on the property during the rally?”

Jordan detailed the critical moments of the attack, seeking a comprehensive timeline. “What exactly happened between 6:09 and 6:14, those critical five minutes? We know from briefings from the director and the deputy director of the FBI and other information we’ve gathered that at 6:09 the shooter was identified on the roof. At 6:10 the counter sniper teams were notified about the shooter. At 6:11 the shooter fired several shots, injuring and killing one person, injuring others. At 6:12 the counter sniper took down the shooter, and at 6:14 President Trump was escorted off the stage by Secret Service agents. We need to know what happened, play by play, moment by moment, second by second, the communications that took place again during that critical five minutes.”

He then turned to the misinformation disseminated by the Secret Service and DHS Secretary Mayorkas. “After the rally, why did both the Secret Service and Secretary of Homeland Security, Mayorkas, lie to the American people? July 14, the day after the attack, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said, ‘The assertion that a member of the former president’s security team requested additional security resources that the US Secret Service or the Department of Homeland Security rebuffed is absolutely false.’ The next day, Secretary Mayorkas said, ‘That is an unequivocally false assertion. We had not received any requests for additional security measures that were rebuffed.’ But five days later, top officials repeatedly rejected requests from Donald Trump’s security detail for more personnel. And on July 21, The New York Times, confirming what the Washington Post reported, said, ‘Mr. Guglielmi acknowledged that the Secret Service had turned down requests for additional federal security assets for Mr. Trump’s detail.’ A 180-degree change. Why did they initially lie to us in the days after the attack in Pennsylvania?”

Jordan emphasized the need for answers from Wray on several key issues. “Finally, we hope to learn more today from Director Wray about the shooter, his use of the drone, the explosives that were in his car, how he got on the roof, and a host of other questions. It is our hope that Director Wray’s testimony can begin to give answers to the American people about all of these questions and concerns.”

Jordan concluded by highlighting the public’s skepticism of the FBI and the Justice Department. “A significant portion of the country has a healthy skepticism regarding the FBI’s ability to conduct a fair, honest, open, and transparent investigation, and that skepticism is based on what they’ve witnessed over the past several years. The American people have seen a Biden-Harris Justice Department that can’t tell us who planted the pipe bombs on January 6, can’t tell us who leaked the Dobbs opinion, and can’t tell us who put cocaine at the White House. This is the same Justice Department that raided President Trump’s home, worked with social media companies to censor Americans, let the country believe that the Hunter Biden laptop was misinformation when they knew at the time it was authentic, and retaliated against whistleblowers who came to this committee.”

“Last week, we sent you 12 questions about what occurred on July 13. We expect you to answer those questions and the others that I’ve just outlined. And again, we thank you for being here today and appreciate your willingness to answer the questions,” Jordan said, closing his statement.
