Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) once again ripped into the Biden-Harris administration regarding the investigation into the assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump.
I’m trying to find video. From Fox News:
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) within the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was “almost derelict in its duty by resisting our requests for documents, evidence and information that are necessary to investigate.”The Democrat reiterated his disappointment in the department, and added that he has become “angry” that DHS has not been more “forthcoming.”The Democrat foreshadowed potential subpoenas being used in the future, telling reporters on Monday, “We may need to require more cooperation from them. And we have the power to do so through the compulsory process. In other words, the subpoena power.”
The remarks come five days after Blumenthal attacked the administration after the Secret Service privately briefed senators on the task force investigating the security failures.
“I think the American people are going to be shocked, astonished and appalled by what we will report to them about the failures by the Secret Service in this assassination attempt on the former president,” Blumenthal told Fox News. “But I think they also ought to be appalled and astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland Security to be more forthcoming, to be as candid and frank, as it should be to them in terms of providing information.”
I imagine what could have been another attempt on Trump’s life angered Blumenthal even more.
Blumenthal has been the most vocal of the Democrats from the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which he chairs, and the Homeland Security Committee, also investigating the attempt.
After the USSS briefing, Homeland Security Committee Chairman Gary Peters (D-MI) didn’t make any remarks like Blumenthal but promised the investigation and report would be 100% bipartisan.
Here is Blumenthal five days ago:
